How it Works
Leads and Tip-Offs
01
Potential leads and tip-offs are submitted from our network of non-profit organisations including investigative NGOs, activists and journalists.
02
Case File Creation
We collaborate with experts and partner organizations to compile a comprehensive case file, providing relevant information, background context, suggested tools, approaches, and clear guidelines.
03
OSINT Investigations
Cases are opened to OSINT investigators as challenges (hackerthons) or on-going cases. Investigators collaborate and compete to crack cases using publicly available information. Subject-matter experts or organisational representatives are on-hand to assist and guide investigations if needed, as well as expert OSINT advisors.
04
Action Taken
Partner organisations use the intelligence gathered to take action, exposing perpetrators and/or pursuing legal, political, or environmental enforcement measures.
Join our Environmental OSINT Challenge Events, put your investigative skills to the test and help uncover real-life environmental crimes – whether it’s exposing illegal deforestation, tracking wildlife trafficking, or unmasking corporate greenwashing.
Challenges Events are online, weekend-long event for volunteers, data enthusiasts, and open-source intelligence experts to tackle environmental crimes together. Working on tip-offs and leads provided by our partners and confidential informants, volunteer investigators will collaborate to uncover crucial data and bring transparency to environmental issues
