  • A World Free of Wildlife Trafficking and Human Slavery
    Meet Steve Galster and Tim Redford - the leaders behind www.freeland.org, and business partners for the last 20+ years.
    The Freeland vision is "A World Free of Wildlife Trafficking and Human Slavery" with a mission to "Innovate, develop, and continually improve programs and tools that empower society to overcome organized crime and corruption to restore secure, resilient communities and ecosystems.”
    In a world where big business owns Government, and the rich vs poor extremities are ever increasing, this is no easy task. But Steve & Tim have an impressive long-term track record of success in this field.
    In this episode they discuss the work they do at Freeland, in particular some of the success they have had in helping restore (previously believed to be extinct) Tiger populations in Thailand - how the world of human trafficking operates, ways to identify illegal products, and what you can do.
