EIA’s pioneering use of undercover investigations has enabled us to gather intelligence and document incontrovertible evidence of environmental crimes and abuses. Our investigators gather unique film and photographic evidence from across the world to further our campaigns, often at significant personal risk.

Much of this documentary archive is available to the media and public via these pages.
