Governing Wildlife Trade

My interest in this topic started when I was heading the BirdLife programme in Indonesia and working with the government conservation agency to promote sustainability in the parrot trade. Between 2005 and 2008 I led an applied research project looking at ways to governing the impacts of the hugley popular Indonesian passtime of songbird keeping.
