We are an international agency exposing the threats to endangered wildlife species

Exposing Endangered Wildlife Exploitation

Endangered Wildlife Investigations (EWI) is an independent agency founded by investigative journalist Adam Cruise, dedicated to uncovering the hidden forces driving the exploitation of endangered species worldwide. Through in-depth ground investigations, undercover operations, and expert analysis, we expose the realities of wildlife trafficking, legally sanctioned trade, trophy hunting, and conservation policies that fail the species they claim to protect. Our work brings to light the often-overlooked threats facing vulnerable animals, from the live capture and export of baby elephants to the impact of Traditional Chinese Medicine on Africa’s biodiversity. We provide governments, policymakers, and conservation organizations with critical intelligence to drive meaningful change, ensuring that decisions about wildlife are informed by truth—not profit or political agendas.

By challenging industry narratives, exposing corruption, and giving a voice to the voiceless, EWI stands at the frontline of global wildlife protection. Our investigations are published in leading international media and used to influence policy reforms, legal battles, and conservation strategies worldwide. We believe that true conservation starts with transparency, and our mission is to ensure the world knows the real story behind the fight to protect endangered species.
