Visual evidence such as video footage, photos, satellite images & maps can be powerful in proving #Environmental crimes 🙌🏾🌿

But it takes a team of people working together in different types of roles to ensure the evidence makes a difference.

🧵Steps & roles community members can take on from #Camera2Justice :

🪧Deciders: Usually there is not enough time or resources to document every single violation.

In deciding which violations to prioritize documenting, it is communities that lead, in partnership with lawyers.

📋Planners: Before filming, Planners prepare a Collection Plan, Mission Plan, and— very importantly—a Security Plan.

Ideally, these are community members who will capture #Video + photo documentation together with a lawyer, but anyone in the community could work on planning.

📹 Documenters: These are community members who are part of the team designated to capture photos & videos in the field.

💾 Archivists: These are team members who collect all the footage from Documenters. Then, they organize, catalog, manage & preserve it.

Usually a small group of community members and/or staff members at a local NGO could form the team of archivists.
