Description
Wildlife trafficking is a high-profile but complex topic that reporters struggle to tackle effectively. Three experts recently spoke with Mongabay about some of the thornier questions the media should consider when covering international wildlife crime. Wildlife trafficking should be covered as a crime story, first and foremost, because that's what it is, as one podcast guest agures. Simone Haysome, Dwi N. Adhiasto, and Bryan Christy joined host Mike DiGirolamo in a live discussion that originally aired late last year to unpack these questions as part of Mongbay's ongoing webinar series for environmental journalists. This conversation refers to a 'recent' meeting from CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) that occurred in Panama City, Panama in November of 2022.
