Abstract
This paper introduces an automated web crawling surveillance system developed to monitor reports on illegally traded wildlife. The use of unofficial data sources, such as online news sites and social networks, to collect information on international wildlife trade improves traditional approaches drawing on official reporting and presents a novel source of intelligence with which to monitor and collect news in support of enforcement against this threat to wildlife conservation worldwide.
