Our Wild World

How has species survival become about law enforcement? With my guests today, filmmaker Phyllis Stuart, and Elephant Action League Founder and Director Andrea Crosta, we talk about a groundbreaking and compelling new documentary wildlife film, Wild Daze, directed and produced by Stuart, that unveils what is really happening in the world of illegal trafficking in wildlife and the complexity of the models in place to protect nature. Wild Daze leads audiences through Africa’s complex and murky complicity and corruption, to understand the toll human activity has on the wild. Crosta, Elephant Action League, and creator of WildLeaks, shares how conservationists alone cannot succeed as law enforcement against illegal trafficking without the political will and support of the countries involved. Today’s forces make it critical to shift conservation models to supports local people living with wildlife – as we keep saying on this show, Conservation IS about People.
