For Spear Talk episode 104, we once again welcomed Andrea Crosta back to the show! Andrea is the founder of Earth League International, which is an organiaztion that uses intel to track and stop the illegal trafficking of wildlife. You can see Andrea and his team in two incredibile documentaries, "Sea Of Shadows" on Hulu and "The Ivory Game" on Netflix.

In our discussion we covered how the last year has played out in terms of intel and trends as it pertains to the traffickers, how animal trafficking is tied into the illegal drug and human smuggling trades, how the Sea Of Cortez is still an issue as it pertains to the hunting of totoaba and subsequent killing of the vaquitas, the endangered species list, what it takes to bring awareness and funding to ELI, and so much more!
