Inside 25 Years of Tiger Trafficking

Even after 50 years of the highest possible international protection under CITES, tigers continue to be poached and trafficked at alarming levels. A new 25-year analysis - Beyond Skin and Bones: A 25-Year Analysis of Tiger Seizures - puts this into stark perspective, showing that thousands of tigers have been seized across dozens of countries, and that criminal networks are increasingly sophisticated in how they operate. To walk us through what the report uncovered, why the trade persists, and what must change for any real progress to happen, we’re joined by Kanitha Krishnasamy, Director of TRAFFIC Southeast Asia, and co-author of the report.Image Credit: TRAFFIC.orgSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
