It’s clear that with the increased publicity and moves to enforce and expand local and national legislation, illegal wildlife trafficking is rapidly shifting to digital platforms. Dr David L Roberts of the Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology University of Kent, wildlife inspector and member of Interpol’s Wildlife Crime Working Group, discusses the challenges of identifying these illegal items, tracking down the criminals and offers solutions to stem the tide.
David was an orchid specialist at the Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew in which he trained and worked alongside law enforcement officers on the identification of illegally traded orchids. Since moving to the University of Kent, he has worked on various aspects of the wildlife trade, serving as the Prevention Lead for the Cyber-enabled Wildlife Crime Priority Delivery Group, and as a member of Defra’s Illegal Wildlife Trade Advisory Group.
Talks will last approximately one hour followed by a Q&A.
