Inhaltsangabe

This is the first book to highlight the global importance of safeguarding the world's most threatened species. The author describes why organized crime has begun robbing nations of its wildlife, in some cases actually bringing species to the brink of extinction. He shows how criminal networks recruit, equip and direct poachers and wildlife couriers, and how smuggling, bribery and violence are used in these illegal markets. Sellar also reflects, sometimes critically, on his service as a UN official responsible for halting this horrible trafficking.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Until 2011, John M. Sellar was the most senior law enforcement official operating transnationally to combat wildlife crime. Following his secondment from the Scottish police Force as Chief of Enforcement to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES), he was labeled by the media as 'The UN's Lone Ranger'. His duties took him to more than 60 countries, involving 2 million kilometers of travel over the course of 14 years.
