Welcome to TePonui Media.

We’re an independent research and investigations consultancy.

Our team of researchers and reporters delves into under-reported and often misunderstood issues around the world. 

We specialise in long-form, international, on-the-ground investigations into trafficking networks, environmental crime, labour exploitation, the global drug war and other non-traditional security threats.

We’ve run investigations in countries as diverse as Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Indonesia, Israel & the Palestinian Territories, China, Vietnam, Saudi Arabia, Uzbekistan, Turkey, Kyrgyzstan and the UK.

We’ve briefed international security organisations and diplomatic representatives on emerging human trafficking trends in Southeast Asia.

And we work with non-governmental organisations to produce in-depth, deeply researched reports on emerging risks and trends.
