Presented by Centre for Military & Security Law
This presentation looks at wildlife crime in southern Africa, with particular focus on South Africa, Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe - drawing from Professor Williams' recent research visit to the area. The presentation also looks at why the international illegal trade in wildlife is estimated to be worth US$23 billion a year, who facilitates it, and who benefits.
An important question is whether Australia could be doing more to limit the trade.
