Ivory. Pangolin scales. Rhino horn. Big cat parts.

Vietnam is a key hub in the illegal wildlife trade, and Hai Phong Port is a major gateway where seizures frequently occur.

The fix? Collaboration.

On Sept 8-9, 2026, Freeland, along with International Wildlife Trust (IWT) and ASEAN Police (ASEANAPOL) and in collaboration with the Office of Investigation Police Agency (OIPA), brought together 20 participants from Customs, Police, Port Authorities, Shipping, and Logistics for the Bridging Trafficking Free Enterprises (bTFE) Training. Through hands-on port fire drills, they learned to work as one task force to share intelligence and dismantle the criminal networks exploiting their ports.

Sponsored by the U.S. Department of State (INL) under the TRIPOD II program.

Scam compounds and forced labour in Southeast Asia.

Thousands of people trafficked into Southeast Asia's scam compounds spend their days forced to run romance scams and crypto fraud on strangers worldwide, beaten or starved if they miss quota. Thailand's Department of Special Investigations has raided compounds across the region, freeing trafficked workers and repatriating many of them home.

Freeland works alongside DSI, strengthening the intelligence and cross border coordination that makes operations like these possible, building the case files that connect one compound to the next.

The stories travel faster than the warnings ever do. A neighbor who left for work two years ago and returned with nothing to show for it. A cousin whose calls just stopped one day. Most people boarding a flight to the Gulf have heard at least one of these stories, and they board anyway, because the alternative at home is no opportunity at all. That calculation is exactly what traffickers count on.

Freeland works to shift the odds in that calculation, pushing for the intelligence sharing and enforcement partnerships that expose these networks before another person has to gamble on a warning they already knew.

It starts small. A DM promising a housekeeping job in Nairobi. A 'family friend' offering to place your daughter with a family in the city. Weeks later she's trafficked across borders into domestic servitude, and the trail goes cold the moment it crosses a border, because traffickers move people and wildlife across borders knowing law enforcement usually stops at one.

Freeland closes that gap. Through the Lusaka Agreement Task Force and Thailand's Department of Special Investigations, we're building a direct line between African and Asian enforcement, sharing intelligence on the same networks trafficking both people and wildlife across the two continents.

Wildlife crime doesn't stop at the forest boundary. It runs through phones, social media and online marketplaces.
This Wildlife Week, on October 5, 2026, Freeland trained 38 officers from Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve (TATR), India, in Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) through a one-day, fully hands-on workshop built around real cases and challenges from India.

🔍 30+ OSINT tools & techniques
🔍 Tracing digital footprints
🔍 Uncovering hidden connections between suspects
🔍 Practical exercises all day, with no slide-only sessions

Wildlife criminals are more connected and tech-savvy than ever. The people protecting our wildlife need to stay one step ahead.

We thank the TATR Administration and Maharashtra Forest Department for trusting Freeland with this opportunity, and we hope to continue this meaningful collaboration in the future.

Freeland's Surviving Together team partners with the Mushie Mushie Team, a group of students from NIST International School in Bangkok, Thailand. They have been working with Freeland for several years to support the Surviving Together project under the concept "Poachers to Protectors" around Khao Yai National Park. The concept digs into why villagers around the park turn to poaching in the first place.

We raise the funds to help these poachers build legal agricultural careers, starting with small investments that let them launch their own farms.

This is what change looks like when young people help drive the idea and real support carries it through.
