UAE Leads Green Shield 2026 Against Eco Crime
The "Green Shield 2026" operation, led by the UAE Ministry of Interior as part of the international law enforcement initiative for climate (I2LEC), succeeded in dismantling environmental crime networks in the Amazon basin in coordination with Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. The operation targeted crimes such as illegal mining, unlicensed logging, wildlife trafficking, fuel smuggling, and illegal land grab. Conducted through simultaneous field operations, these efforts resulted in the arrest of 839 individuals, the seizure of 280,450 cubic meters of felled timber, 195 tons of minerals, 800 cases of illegal hunting, and the rescue of over 3,079 animals, with equipment confiscated worth over $280 million. The field results underscore the importance of international cooperation in combating transboundary environmental crimes and protecting the Amazon's forest resources and wildlife.
