The Problem
The illegal trade of wildlife products is worth billions of US dollars annually. Increasingly, dealers and consumers are turning to internet social media and e-commerce platforms to illegally sell and purchase (traffic) live exotic animals. Monitoring these platforms for trafficking-related posts can help disrupt the illegal trade in live wild animals, and possibly lead to prosecutions of traffickers. However, monitoring is expensive and difficult to do manually. The challenge is to create tools to assist the discovery and tracking of illegal wildlife materials & animals for sale on social media, and identify the accounts and ultimately, people behind the trade.

Providing a real time alert system for authorities on SMS/dashboard to notify them as soon as a buy/ sell post for traffic is detected by our engine across all E-platforms with instant insights about the person who posted it including his location, mobile number and more. Providing analytics and insights about trafficking of different species online across multiple platforms. Providing NGOs with actionable data and insights to better plan and execute their campaign.
