Natural Resources
In Canada, the criminal market in natural resources attracts organized crime groups, some of whom are involved in other criminal markets, and individuals unaligned with any one group.These groups could be drawn by the profits to be made. For example, it is estimated that the international market in endangered species is worth roughly US$5 billion annually.The involvement of organized crime in environmental and natural resource crime can occur anywhere along the production and distribution lines of illicit and contraband goods, to profit concealment and money laundering.
