Current data tells us our world has slid past far tipping points of no return. Viable populations of wildlife across the board are disappearing. Our human response for sustainable development and environmental goals are not compatible nor conducive to the continuance of ecosystem earth. We need intensive multilayered actions for creative solutions, options and alternatives. Today's rebroadcast provides necessary background to remind us of critical changes that have happened in just 6 years, and the disastrous effects we see now. My guests Nick Lynch and Tim Gorski, two of WildiZe Observers to CITES reporting direct from Johannesburg in 2016. Here we are in 2020, in the midst of catastrophic climate changes, a pandemic of a virus transferred to humans from wildlife, and political machinations that remove underpinnings of environmental protections. New CITES CoP18 regulations were supposedly responses to these crises, however, we now see whole system failures.

“For the worst possible reasons, elephants and rhinoceroses are front-page news today, the poster children for the worst excesses of organized wildlife crime. The present crisis is the outcome of some 40 years of history, some of it acted out in nature and some at international meetings where the rules defining the fate of species are endlessly fought over.” What has changed dramatically is the landscape of highly organized crime, of which the sole purpose is economics: get rich. When at the CITES level, focus is brought to the true costs of illegal trade and wildlife crime, we do have, in place, through CITES, a binding international system and mechanisms to buttress participatory working groups, creating solutions and enforcing them. And this is where we, through our member nations laws and the work of public NGOs, to reflect changes in the overarching the landscape relevant to our times.

The recent trend is that CITES is outdated, that it has no teeth, that the very trade in endangered and threatened species is causing them to slip toward extinction. On the face of it that would seem a compelling argument., WildiZe Observers had the opportunity roam the halls, and like many others; we came away with more questions than answers. I felt it imperative to better understand CITES from those more knowledgeable than myself. Dr. Ronald Orenstein is a highly involved participant and Observer at CITES since 1987, a member of Board of Directors of the Species Survival Network (SSN), the Elephant Research Foundation (ERF), author and prolific writer- So who better to ask? Today we start from the beginning as Ron guides us through the layers, intricacies and inner workings of CITES in ariveting, in-depth conversation about What is CITES? What makes it unique? Does it provide a framework for the future? And provide some clarity and answers.

With the CITES CoP17 trade resolutions voted upon, now it's time to look that the ramifications of conservation by committee based upon the utilization model pressure of supply vs demand. With my guests Dex Kotze we can a real world idea of actual numbers, how many real world animals it takes to provide for an ever increasing demand in a legalized trade and the arguments that a legal trade can out compete an illegal trade. Pippa Hankison, the force behind Blood Lions, the film that blew the lid of the Canned Hunting Industry and Trade, the effects, fate and future of farmed ‘wild' life that lurk in the dark corners of unmonitored, unregulated, legal and illegal trade –the loss for lions out of CoP17 is the epitome of breaking down the value of the whole of nature into commoditized parts, available to the highest bidder. No matter how much we sell, nature cannot fulfill the demands of an ever increasing human population.

br Today we are back on the trail of the canned lion breeding with guests Drew Abrahamson and Paul Tully of Captured In Africa, who's mission is to bring awareness through safari, the tourism sector and through schools, of canned lion industry and its spin-offs of urban 'lion safari parks', the cub-petting and lion walking 'parks' which on the whole are a cover for the insidious canned hunting of lions who's sole purpose on earth is to raise profits to breed more lions for the trophy hunting industry which insidiously feeds the illegal markets in lion bone trade and trafficking. Drew and Paul take us through the chain of events of captive lions vs. 'reserves' in a country where wildlife is completely fenced in, and the campaigns and advocacy work in educating 'voluntourists' and school children toward advocacy for Africa's dwindling wild lion populations.

Wildlife and the environment are the silent victims of any land in turmoil. With my guest Lisa Hywood, The Tikki Hywood Trust, we discuss the plight of the pangolin, and what Zimbabweans and the world, are doing about it. Over the past 15 years, little remains of Zimbabwe untouched by man. Socio–political upheaval, coupled with economic distress have contributed to the plunder and decimation of this natural heritage. Human need and greed has surpassed the capacity of the country to give, resulting in the suffering of both the environment and its inhabitants. As a nation, Zimbabweans need to react quickly and decisively to preserve what's left. The Tikki Hywood Trust and stakeholders have joined forces to plan and implement solutions and protection of the environment and wildlife via strategic partnership with the Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority.

Adam Roberts of Born Free joins us again for an in depth look at the state of the world of wildlife and conservation in the 50 years since Elsa the Lion, and the death of a lion named Cecil rocked the world, to the most important conference, CoP17 in S. Africa that decides the fate and future of many species. Both low and high moments that will stand out in our history as the legacy we choose how we humans go about deciding what co-existence policy with wildlife means, where much of our earth's diversity is severely threatened and treading on thin ground, in a future filled with people and a lot less room for wildlife to thrive and survive. We go through the intricacies and import of CITES Conference of Parties works (CoP), up to one of the biggest events coming this month in Kenya, the burning of 120,000 tons of Ivory and rhino horn, in their third public commitment to the world render ivory valueless and stop the war on wildlife.
