Data Entry Volunteer

The Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA UK) is a charity and independent campaigning organisation established in 1984. We pioneered undercover investigations to combat environmental crime and abuse. We use evidence and analysis to bring about lasting policy and changes to legislation to protect our planet, its biodiversity, climate and all who live here.

Our vision is a future where humanity respects, protects and celebrates the natural world.

We are looking for volunteers to start immediately.

EIA UK is seeking two volunteers to support the Intelligence & Investigations (I&I) team ideally 1-2 days a week and for a minimum of 3 months, with research and data entry.

The I&I team undertakes strategic and intelligence-led activities in cooperation with the Campaign team to act and tackle illegal trade in wildlife parts and derivatives. We are looking for support to update and maintain the Global Environmental Crime Tracker- a publicly accessible database charting wildlife crime seizures, prosecutions and convictions. Volunteers with a keen eye for detail and appetite for data are encouraged to apply and should have an interest in the environment, a passion for conservation and share the aims of EIA.
