Amid shrinking newsroom resources in South Africa, effective and responsible environmental reporting is taking a backseat to sensationalist media trends. Poor quality coverage of wildlife crime is one of the results.
The Greater Kruger offers many stories of progress towards a safer and more secure region for both people and wildlife. In this Khetha webinar, 'Good news from the Kruger', seasoned wildlife crime researcher, Julian Rademeyer, chatted to Sharon Haussmann, chief executive of the Greater Kruger Environmental Protection Foundation (GKEPF), about innovative projects and strategies that are having a positive impact.
Wildlife crime is complicated and hard to beat. It’s entangled in the very fabric of our society. We must get to grips with its subtleties if we hope to unpick it. This discussion is based on the Webinar hosted by Rob Inglis of Jive Media Africa, with Lara Rall of WWF South Africa, Vusi Tshabalala from the Kruger2Canyon biosphere region, and Julian Rademeyer the Director at the Global Initiative Against Transnational Organised Crime for East and Southern Africa. He is the author of the bestselling book, Killing for Profit – Exposing the Illegal Rhino Horn Trade.
