Cheryl Lo, Senior Wildlife Crime Officer from World Wide Fund for Nature (HK) talked to us about trade in illegal ivory in HK, how it is connected to global criminal syndicates and the irreversible damage it is doing to the African elephants.

Illegal ivory trade

Humans run the world. For centuries, animals have lived among us. Some became our rides, our companions, our hunters, our defenders, as friends bound to us by bonds as close as the ones by blood; others became our food, our merchandise, our source of pride, our slaves, nothing but mere objects to us. This dichotomy continues into the 21st century, in which human-animal conflicts show no sign of abating, rather the contrary. In this podcast series, we explore the relationship between humans and animals and what we must do for a better future together. 
Presented and Produced by Annalie Chow.
