ACE is a French think tank
Our mission is to understand, anticipate, and help combat environmental crimes as thoroughly as possible.
We integrate environmental considerations into geostrategic and security frameworks, providing actionable levers and solutions to combat and contain environmental crime.
What we do best
-
Through OSINT and GEOINT, we shed light on environmental crime ecosystems by verifying sources, integrating satellite/remote sensing data, and visualizing networks and hotspots to facilitate planning and monitoring. We are able to create crime maps, identify points of interest, and thus provide high-value elements for our research, consulting, and expertise.
-
We transform signals into clear, ready-to-use products. From the convergence of criminal economies to geostrategic implications, we provide targeted risk assessments and reports that can help institutions, law enforcement agencies, and any entity gain specific intelligence to better understand and combat environmental crime.
-
We accept research mandates for research institutes, universities, NGOs and partner organizations. Carried out under confidentiality agreements and using non-intrusive methods, our work includes specialized analyses of literature and data, validated conclusions from open sources (OSINT) and geospatial intelligence (GEOINT), as well as peer-reviewed methodological notes that withstand scrutiny and remain fully ethical.
We love intelligence.
We love OSINT and ground operations.
We love nature & wildlife.
