IFAW and INTERPOL at the Front Lines of the War on Ivory and Wildlife Trafficking: Editors: High-resolution photos of seized ivory available, photos of MoU signing available shortly

Abstract

(Marketwired - May 22, 2013) - Interpol and IFAW (International Fund for Animal Welfare - www.ifaw.org) today signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) at Interpol's international headquarters in Lyon, France. This is the first ever MoU signed by Interpol's Environmental Crime Programme with an NGO.

"IFAW's relationship with Interpol began in 2005 and has continued to grow over the years on the basis of shared goals, trust, mutual respect and responsibility. Today's signing is a deepening of that relationship and reflects the complementary expertise that IFAW and INTERPOL bring to the table."
