Roundtable

Animal trafficking is an industry worth billions - and a major threat to countless endangered species. Now it’s gone online, and a new investigation has revealed a growing cybertrade in wildlife. From elephant ivory to live tiger cubs - it takes just minutes to find illegal products for sale. Is the internet undermining the battle for conservation?

Roundtable is a discussion programme with an edge. Broadcast out of London and presented by David Foster, it's about bringing people to the table, listening to every opinion, and analysing every point of view. From fierce debate to reflective thinking, Roundtable discussions offer a different perspective on the issues that matter to you. Watch it every weekday at 15:30 GMT on TRT World.

Joining us at the Roundtable is Christopher Norris, the Head of Crowdfunding at CrowdPatch; Ruth Allsop, from the Brighton and Hove City Council, which used crowdfunding to raise more than $600,000 to save its seafront terraces; Ayisha Hameed is a campaign coach at LaunchGood; and Amy Butterworth manages the crowdfunding programme at the Royal Society for Arts.

The UK National Audit Office estimates the collapse of British construction and services company Carillion will cost the taxpayer almost $200 million. Why should the public have to prop up failing businesses, when the bosses responsible for the failure pocket millions?

It's been nine months since Puerto Rico was hit by hurricane Maria - the worst in its history. The US territory is still suffering power cuts and thousands of families are displaced. Recent studies suggest more than 4,600 people died as a result of the storm and its aftermath - dwarfing official estimates - which were as low as just 64. What can be learned from the response, and how many more lives could have been saved?

Joining us at the Roundtable is Arelis Hernandez, a reporter for the Washington Post who spent two months in Puerto Rico covering the aftermath of Hurricane Maria; Erika Rodriguez, a photographer who documented the impact of the storm; Carmen Solana, who teaches crisis and disaster management at the University of Portsmouth; and journalist Javier Farje, who also covered the disaster.
