According to the Igarapé Institute, an environmental think tank, Drug Trafficking finances the illegal wildlife trade in the Amazon. Wildlife trafficking requires significant financial resources to bribe public officials and law enforcement agents: for example, police officers are paid to ignore suspicious cargo, veterinarians are paid to issue false reports about the animals in questions, and airport employees are paid to bypass luggage scanners. In some cases, organised criminal groups use the proceeds from Drug Trafficking to enable the trafficking of ornamental fish from Brazil to Colombia.
