WILDLIFE TRAFFICKING: BEYOND ELEPHANTS & IVORY
Conservation Leadership Lecture by DR. SUSAN LIEBERMAN
Join us to learn about how wildlife trafficking goes beyond the headline animals and impacts a diverse group of species and ecosystems.
Dr. Susan Lieberman has worked in international biodiversity conservation, at the intersection between science and policy, for more than 25 years. She is currently Vice President for International Policy at the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), where she works to direct WCS policy engagement in multiple intergovernmental fora in support of WCS’ conservation programs to conserve wildlife and wild places, working closely with governments, intergovernmental organizations, NGO partners, and others. Previously, she directed WWF programs on the conservation of species of international conservation concern, including tigers, African and Asian elephants, African and Asian rhinos, giant pandas, African and Asian great apes, whales, marine turtles, and polar bears.
