Green Crime: What drives the criminals devastating our wildlife and environment?
Description
Environmental crime is rated as the third or fourth largest organised criminal activity globally, but what motivates those carrying it out, from wealthy kingpins at the head of transnational syndicates to poachers at the other end of the scale?
A new book – Green Crime: Inside the minds of the people destroying the planet and how to stop them – takes a deep dive into the world of eco crime, estimated to generate $110-281 billion annually in criminal profits.
In this episode, Green Crime author Dr Julia Shaw, a criminal psychologist, writer and TV and audio presenter, talks with Senior Press and Communications Officer Paul Newman about her book, which features a number of major case studies, including EIA’s 2017 investigation into and exposure of the notorious Shuidong wildlife trafficking syndicate.
