Exotic plants and animals: the illegal wildlife trade happening right under your nose
There is increasing interest in owning wild and exotic animals and the internet is able to serve up whatever your heart desires, even if importing these animals is illegal.
In this episode we speak with Prof Phill Cassey https://researchers.adelaide.edu.au/profile/phill.cassey and PhD student Charlotte Lassaline both from the School of Biological Sciences https://set.adelaide.edu.au/biological-sciences/ as well as from the Invasion Science and Wildlife Ecology Group http://www.cassey-invasion-ecology.org at the University of Adelaide http://www.adelaide.edu.au/ . We examine what it’s going to take to conserve and recover ecosystems in a world where wildlife is being traded not only in secret corners of the internet, but often right in front of our eyes.
