Yesterday, InSightCrime Co-director @jerrymcdermott @jerrymcdermott spoke about the importance of cracking down on #EnvironmentalCrime in the #Amazon at #COP11 #UNTOC. Below is a short recap of what was discussed 🧵👇: 
@jerrymcdermott @jerrymcdermott stressed the need for the international community to do more than “give lip service, [as] the consequences of #EnvironmentalCrime are potentially far more catastrophic for the world than the abuse of illegal narcotics.”
“We must step up our due diligence [on] the sourcing of wood, gold, and other products of #EnvironmentalCrime.” Illegally logged timber, for example, is often used to make products sold legally in international markets.
