In this JCO Article Insights episode, Peter Li summarizes “Neoadjuvant Modified Infusional Fluorouracil, Leucovorin, and Oxaliplatin With or Without Radiation Versus Fluorouracil Plus Radiation for Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer: Updated Results of the FOWARC Study After a Median Follow-Up of 10 Years,” by Dr. Jianwei Zhang et al. published on December 13, 2024. TRANSCRIPT Peter Li: Hello and welcome to the JCO Article Insights. I'm your host Peter Li and today we will be discussing the Journal of Clinical Oncology article, “Neoadjuvant Modified Infusional Fluorouracil, Leucovorin, and Oxaliplatin With or Without Radiation Versus Fluorouracil Plus Radiation for Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer: Updated Results of the FOWARC Study After a Median Follow-Up of 10 Years,” by Dr. Jianwei Zhang et al.  For a reminder to the audience, the FOWARC study is a Chinese-based study that looked into the treatment of locally advanced rectal cancers with neoadjuvant chemotherapy based regimens with or without radiation. This study was first published back in 2019 where the three-year data showed no difference in three-year disease-free survival over survival between the three study arms. As a reminder of what those arms were, there were one historical control and two interventional arms. The control arm used 5-FU with radiation therapy with five cycles of 5-fluorouracil with radiation during cycles two to four followed by surgery and then seven cycles adjuvantly. Their first interventional arm was the same as the control arm with the addition of oxaliplatin on day 1of each cycle. And lastly, the third arm was FOLFOX only for four to six cycles followed by surgery and then six to eight cycles adjuvantly completing about a total of 12 weeks of chemotherapy.  They recruited about 495 patients with 165 patients randomized to each arm. They were relatively well balanced by age, clinical staging and distance from the anal verge. Median age was about mid-50s with a slight male predominance and patients were primarily stage 3 with 20% to 30% being stage 2. About 30% had clinical T4 disease and about 25% had clinical N2 disease. Median follow up time was 122.5 months or 10 years and their follow up endpoints were disease-free survival, overall survival and local recurrence, and they also performed subgroup analyses based on post surgical pathological staging. Survival was analyzed using Kaplan-Meier method with a significant threshold of p being less than 0.05. About 451 patients actually underwent surgery, which is about 91% of patients. The main reason for not going through surgery was due to refusal but one was due to toxicity and two were due to disease progression in the control arm. Follow up loss rate was about 10% in each group. Now looking at their primary endpoints in their initial study, local recurrence was about 8.8% in the control arm versus 7.9% in the FOLFOX radiation group versus 9.2% in the FOLFOX only group. Distant metastasis was about 30% in each arm and the sites of metastases were primarily in the lung and liver.   Now, following up with 10 years, there were only three new events in the chemoradiation group with local recurrence happening at 10.8% in the control arm versus 8% in the FOLFOX RT group versus 9.6% in the chemo only group. These findings were not statistically significant. In their subgroup analysis by pathological staging, they found that pathological CR or complete response had a lower rate of local recurrence compared to those with increasing pathological staging coming in at 3% versus 4.3% versus 11.6% versus 15.8% in pCR versus Stage 1, 2, 3 respectively. And they found no difference in each stage with each interventional arm. Looking at long term survival their 10-year disease free survival showed 52.5% in the 5-FU radiation group versus 62.6% in the FOLFOX RT group versus 60.5% in the chemotherapy only group with no statistically significant difference between three groups. By pathological staging, they found improved 10-year disease survival in those who achieved pathological complete response versus those who did not with 84.3% in the pCR group versus 78.7% versus 56.8% versus 27.7% in the stage 1 versus 2 versus 3 group. And again they found no statistical significance difference between each arm.   Now looking at the 10-year overall survival rates between the three arms, in the control arm the 10-year overall survival was 65.9% versus 72.3% in the FOLFOX RT group versus 73.4% in the chemo only group. By pathological stage, again, they showed a statistically significant difference in those who achieved pCR versus those who had pathological stage 1 to 3 disease with overall survival being 92.4% in those who achieved pCR versus 84.9% versus 68.6% versus 48.8% in stage 1, 2, 3 respectively. Now in the discussion, authors mentioned that with a median follow up of 10 years, FOLFOX alone had similar disease-free survival, local recurrence and distant metastasis and overall survival compared to those who received neoadjuvant chemoradiation, justifying the omission of radiation without compromising results or outcomes for each patient. There were no differences in subgroup analysis for disease free survival local recurrence or overall survival based on pathological staging. There were only three new events compared to the last follow up, with local recurrence happening only in the chemo radiation groups. Local recurrence rates at 10 years was about 10%. Compared to other clinical trials such as CAO, ARO or AIO-94, the rate of local recurrence was similar to those historical trials.  The authors also compared their findings to the PROSPECT study which looks at the use of total neoadjuvant chemo radiation versus chemotherapy alone, which boasted only about a 2% local recurrence rate. But as a reminder, high risk locally advanced rectal cancers were excluded, mainly those with T4 or N2 disease, which may explain the difference in terms of local recurrence in the PROSPECT versus this study. Another finding is that pathological complete responses are also an important prognostic marker with lower 10-year local recurrence rate, disease-free survival and overall survival with worse outcomes with increased pathological staging. Distant metastasis rates were still at 30%, with the most common site being lung then liver then lymph nodes consistent with other historical studies. Chemotherapy seemed to be better at reducing liver mets than lung metastasis per their findings. In their post hoc analysis of their own study, chemo radiation was also associated with higher incidence of low anterior resection syndrome and persistent ostomy compared to chemotherapy alone, meaning that they had better quality of life with the chemotherapy only approach.  In conclusion, a chemotherapy only approach can be safe and a feasible treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer without compromising outcomes. Omission of radiation may reduce the risk of overtreatment and improve quality of life for some of these patients. However, this does not necessarily exclude the role of radiation as it may still play a role in a response escalation approach for those who do not respond to chemotherapy alone.   This wraps up today's episode.

The book: The Christmas  ClashThe drink: Holiday MulesFavorite Line: Chloe can't stand Peter Li and his smug, perfect faceWell, despite not having a holiday mule (for reasons I get into during my chat with Suzanne) I confess to some very embarrassing mall activities. (Clowning? What?)  But The Christmas Clash is a fantastic YA Holiday romance that has some Romeo and Juliet vibes. Suzanne has done a lot of stand-up Comedy and we talk about how that informs her writing.  One of the things I love about this book is the very careful romance and the very strong friend group each character has. It's a lovely way to spend the day this holiday season. A PopSugar Best New Holiday Romance Book of 2022!Who's naughty and nice at Riverwood Mall? In this hilarious YA holiday rom-com, two rivals get together to save their families' livelihoods, and Christmas, too!Chloe Kwon can't stand Peter Li. It's always been that way. Their families don't get along either: their parents operate rival restaurants in the Riverwood Mall food court—Korean food for the Kwons and Chinese food for the Lis. Now it's the holiday season and Chloe's the photographer at the mall's Santa's Village, and Peter works at the virtual reality North Pole experience right across the atrium. It's all Chloe can do to avoid Peter's smug, incredibly photogenic face.But it turns out the mall is about to be sold to a developer and demolished for condos. Eviction notices are being handed out right before Christmas. Their parents don't know what to do, and soon Chloe and Peter realize that the two of them need to join efforts to try to save the mall. Just when it seems like they can put aside their differences and work closely (very closely) together, they discover that the Kwon and Li feud goes far deeper than either of them realize...Perfect for readers who...Love holiday rom-comsEnjoy rivals-to-lovers storiesFans of Kasie West, Rachel Lynn Solomon, and Sandhya Menon

A new MP3 sermon from Grace Baptist Church, Woodhaven, NYC is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: See a Willing Sacrifice Speaker: Peter Li Broadcaster: Grace Baptist Church, Woodhaven, NYC Event: Sunday Service Date: 10/9/2022 Bible: Hebrews 9:13-14 Length: 55 min.

Peter Li spoke from 1 Corinthians 12-1-31 on The Duties and Joy of Church Membership--Outline- -1. The justification for church membership.-2. The responsibility of church membership.-3. The joy of church membership.

A long time ago, back in the good ol' days of the Google internet, I learnt the power of affiliate marketing first hand. Affiliate strategies let you take advantage of an assumed message source separation. This is where the customer assumes the source of the message is not the advertiser. Example, you pay the owner of a blog site within your niche, for the privilege of tapping into this pool of visitors in various ways. Prospects trust this more, because the message isn't coming from you the brand, but from a trusted source. So it will have a far more powerful effect on persuading people to buy. You'll learn about this technique and much more, in this interview with Blake Hutchison, CEO of Flippa. You'll have to excuse the quality of the audio. I had a slim chance to grab him in between sessions of a retail conference. so I bundled him into a nearby room to have a quick chat. Flippa.com is a self described global online marketplace where people can buy and sell digital assets as well as entire businesses. In this episode, we wanted to go deeper into the use of acquisition as a growth lever. These assets could be an entire business, but also things like a social media account, a blog or even source code. Flippa is one of the world's largest marketplaces for digital assets, where a lot of savvy marketers and business owners prefer to purchase assets, which they then leverage, instead of going to the trouble of building them from scratch. So we wanted to talk about the acquisition marketplace movement in general, but also explore all the different ways acquisition can be used strategically as a growth driver. With thousands of transacted businesses over the years, there's no shortage of examples we tease out during the conversation. Blake has been brought into the business recently, but he has a history of working with some of the top firms both in Australia and in Silicon Valley, from director of sales BDM roles at Lonely Planet in San Francisco to head of partnerships at Xero. More recently, he's moved into GM and Chief Revenue Officer roles before ending up as the CEO at Flippa. It becomes quickly obvious how competent he is about all things growth, marketing, sales, strategy as well as the tech startup process. We talk about everything from the mistakes people make when buying businesses, the types of assets that are sold, and how people can leverage a really key competitive advantage that is often missed at larger, more bureaucratic firms which we both see as a key to modern growth in the years to come. This episode really follows on nicely from the Peter Li episode, which covers more the corporate M&A space. This corporate market has a very different dynamic to this market which may have smaller transaction prices but is far larger in terms of total volume. Until these online marketplaces came along, it was an underground market full of brokers and people in the know. Flippa and Microacquire are the platforms which are modernizing and scaling this market and there are many opportunities out there, easily within reach for those who are wishing to capitalize.

"I am going to love doing this podcast. Because I don't expect to ever be hired into an investment bank or in-house M&A team ever again, I can be brutally honest." We talked further, but he had me at 'brutally honest'. That was the moment I knew we needed to interview Peter and uncover this murky world. An overlooked way to quickly grow a business is to simply acquire customers. Customers which belong to another business. This tactic is overlooked because it's traditionally been the exclusive domain of investment bankers and management consultants who only deal with large companies. But recently, there's been a groundswell of activity spurred by the tech industry as well as the emergence of micro-acquisition marketplaces. Acquisitions are frequently used by tech companies to buy capability, patents and for many reasons other than a short-term earnings boost. So we talk with ex-M&A specialist, former real-estate salesman, army cadet, investment banker, and now, founder of a medical service company, Peter Li. And he exposes the M&A industry, warts and all, never shying away from a good dose of self-deprecation or telling it like it is. So you'll learn all the dirty tricks, the conflicts of interest, and tactical plays that goes on in this secretive, right-knit, murky world. So if you've wanted a crash-course in the world of M&A, or you're looking at being acquired or thinking about acquiring another company, this is a must-listen episode. What does Mumm Champagne and M&A have in common? Why is the real estate and the investment banking industry so similar? What is the old school M&A space vs the future led by tech companies? Why are the best businesses to acquire almost never advertised for sale Learn the basic stages in the M&A process. Why most acquired businesses don't create any value for the acquirer Which acquisition marketplaces are growing quickly Why did AGL reject Founder of Atlassian, Mike Cannon Brooke's takeover bid? Don't worry, we don't get into a technical discussion about financial or legal jargon but stay on a strategic decision-making level throughout with lots of practical examples, mostly from the Australian business scene. So merge your consciousness with this podcast for the next 50 minutes and acquire newfound wisdom.

Curious about the Church in China? Fr. Michael Agliardo, SJ, Executive Director of the US-China Catholic Association (USCCA) and Fr. Peter Li from China join us to discuss the state of the church, what Catholics in China hunger for, and how we can support efforts of evangelization within China. Founded in 1989 as the United States Catholic China Bureau (with the acronym USCCB at the time) through the collaborative efforts of Maryknoll, the Jesuits, other religious orders, and concerned US bishops, the USCCA was launched at a time when China's opening to the outside world set in motion a cavalcade of changes domestically as well as internationally. They worked to keep the American public, the American Catholic Church, and the American Catholic bishops informed of the needs and circumstances of the Church in China. Today the USCCA continues its work of building fraternal ties between the Catholic communities on both sides of the Pacific. More info at their website: https://www.uscatholicchina.org.

Moving into college is always a time for self exploration and redefinition, as first years learn to navigate their new-found independence upon the backdrop of a novel environment. But this year, after being enthusiastically welcomed home and ushered into their new suites, first-years were immediately instructed not to leave. In lieu of the typical move-in chaos — rich with back-to-back events, frenetic networking and overly-sentimental family members sticking around far too long — the class of 2024 was granted their first glimpse into Yale through a windowpane. While forced to linger in limbo as they waited for their negative test results to return, first-years have taken advantage of the time to reflect, gradually adjust, and gain more insight into their goals for the upcoming year. In the face of extreme uncertainty regarding what the year holds in store, the class of 2024 has approached this new experience with enthusiasm and excitement. This episode was produced by Mina Caraccio. Special thanks to Tarel Dennie, Peter Li, Mahesh Agarwal, Anjali Gupta, and Ryan Bose-Roy from the class of 2024 for sharing their insights.

The dangers of global wildlife trafficking have made global headlines. From an obscure wildlife wet market in Wuhan China, a frightening message jumped from the wild and right into a global pandemic crisis: COVID-19, a new zoonotic virus highly contagious to humans.My guest Dr. Peter Li specializes in Northeast Asian security, U.S.-China relations; China's environmental governance and animal welfare politics of the People's Republic of China. Dr Li's decades of work highlight the direct relationship between income, social status and the importance of meat consumption to the Chinese consumer. China has become the world's largest animal farming nation- from captive bred wildlife farms to large scale breeding of pork, beef and chicken. The message is clear: burgeoning human populations intersecting with wildlife in novel ways requires globally enforced environmental and wildlife protection laws. Nature has secrets, and we are not prepared to lift the lid on her zoonotic pandora's box.

This week on The Pet Buzz, Petrendologist Charlotte Reed and Michael Fleck, DVM, talk with Dr. Peter Li of the Humane Society International about how the Coronavirus Pandemic has affected the Yulin Lychee and Dog Meat Festival; with Doug Shupe about traveling taking a vacation with Fido and Fifi this summer; and with SSG Trent Tweeddale and his fight with an alligator to save his dog's life.

Scientists are still trying to determine the origin of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, but a predominant theory is that it began in a "wet market" in Wuhan, China. This has put the spotlight on China's wet markets, with growing calls to shut them down entirely. But, what are these wet markets, what makes them so controversial — and why do some think a ban is the only answer? Today on Front Burner, we take a deep dive into China's world of wet markets with Peter Li, China policy specialist for the Humane Society International.

This is Special English. I'm Mark Griffiths in Beijing. Here is the news. China has issued a guidance to ensure the entire poor population in rural China has access to basic medical care services that is close to the national average level. The guideline has been released by 15 central government departments. It says the government will mobilize various social resources and take more precise measures to support the development of healthcare services in poor areas. The healthcare-related poverty alleviation project is part of a national strategy to ensure that all people living below the poverty line in China climb out by 2020. An estimated 56 million people in China lived in poverty in the rural areas as of last year. Around 44 percent of them became impoverished due to healthcare related expenses. The poverty line stands at 2,800 yuan, roughly 425 U.S. dollars, per person per year. A joint investigation will be launched nationwide to look into major factors that are responsible for rural poverty. The investigation will be carried out by health workers at grassroots levels, and will cover all households that fell into poverty due to healthcare expenses. The investigation will be completed in July, and a record will be created for each family. A report will be filed to the central government, based on the investigation results. The move aims to help the authorities to provide financial aid to the poor accordingly. This is Special English.

With processing capacity of 125 Petaflops per second, it is the first supercomputer to achieve speeds in excess of 100 Petaflops per second. This means that the supercomputer is able to perform quadrillions of calculations per second at peak performance. The capability of the supercomputer is provided by a China-developed many-core CPU chip, which measures just 25 square centimeters. Scientists say it would take 7 billion people using electronic calculators 32 years, or 2 million desktop computers working together for one minute, to do the same calculation the supercomputer can solve in just 60 seconds. The supercomputer is composed of almost 41,000 processors. In addition to its faster speed, the supercomputer is much more energy-efficient than its predecessor, the Tianhe-2. The Tianhe-2 remained the world's fastest supercomputer for the past six years. Using the new supercomputer, one watt of electricity supports 6 billion calculations, cutting power consumption by two-thirds, compared with that of its predecessor. Aided by the supercomputer's data storage and processing capabilities, a telescope can detect radio signals from tens of billions of light years away. The application of supercomputer-based marine wave modeling is aiding the safeguarding of marine shipping by providing high-resolution ocean surface images and ocean forecasts. In the life science and industrial spheres, supercomputers have greatly accelerated China's pace in developing medicine, new materials and advanced manufacturing. You're listening to Special English.

Preferences for employment in Chinese college graduates have been changing in recent years as the country undergoes transformations in its economic and industrial structure. A recent survey found that knowledge-intensive industries including information, education and healthcare are hiring more college graduates, while labor-intensive industries, including architecture and manufacturing, are losing their appeal to job hunters. The survey, entitled College Graduates' Employment Annual Report, polled more than 250,000 college students who graduated last year. Experts say that industrial upgrading has resulted in the need for workers with higher education. For example, information technology is leading the current industrial upgrade in China and has become an engine of economic growth. As a result, the proportion of graduates who chose to work in media, information and telecommunication rose two percentage points last year, compared with 2010. Experts say the employment preference serves as a barometer, helping decision-makers to differentiate fast-developing emerging industries from those that are declining or facing challenges. The report also found that small and medium-sized private companies and enterprises, as employers, are gaining increasing favor from college graduates, compared with State-owned enterprises or their transnational counterparts. It said that the employment rate of college graduates has remained stable despite the slowing economy. This is Special English. Like in the United States, knowledge of robots will likely become an integral part of school education in China in the near future, if some forward-thinking technology firms have their way. Already, STEM, an acronym for science, technology, engineering and mathematics, is part of an inter-disciplinary approach that marks school education in developed countries. The United States is the leader in this respect. The US government allocated 240 million US dollars of funds last year to promote STEM-centric education. The total investment in this sector has so far reached 1 billion dollars. Sui Shaolong is chief operating officer of RoboTerra, an educational robotics company located in Silicon Valley in the US. Sui said that compared with the traditional education model, school education that includes robotics in the curriculum allows students to learn how to analyze and solve problems. Building or assembling a robot strengthens students' skills and sharpens their thinking ability in terms of space and structure. He said designing and writing the robot's programs helps to develop students' logical thinking ability; and team work enhances their interpersonal communication and the ability to cooperate. RoboTerra has already provided one-stop solutions for robot-based curricula and STEM-centric education in dozens of schools in Chinese cities including Beijing and Shanghai.

While excavators dismantled the synthetic surface of the playground at the Baiyunlu campus of Beijing No.2 Experimental Primary School, a group of parents carried out checks at the site, despite the noise of machinery, the swirling dust and the stench of plastic debris. Like the surface of the playground, the parents' trust in the school and local educational authority has been shredded as a result of a recent health scare related to the facility. That's according to one parent, the mother of a fourth-grader at the school, who preferred not to be named. She is one of dozens of parents who claim their children were poisoned by toxic substances emitted by a synthetic running track built last year. They cited a range of symptoms including nosebleeds, coughs and skin allergies that have affected at least 40 students since April. She said removing the running surface is easy but she doubts whether the authorities are determined to dig deep enough to uncover the real reasons for the controversy and find those who should be held accountable. The claims followed a number of incidents in which students were found t obe feeling unwell after exposure to potentially toxic artificial sports fields at schools in at least 15 cities across China. However, on June 14, the Beijing Municipal Education Commission announced that a follow-up air quality test conducted by the China National Environmental Monitoring Center indicated that the campus facilities adhered to the quality standards for national environmental monitoring and synthetic playgrounds. Six parents' representatives witnessed the tests, along with a third-party notary agency. However, some parents remained skeptical about the results. The Beijing Education Commission has ordered an inspection into all synthetic sports fields in Beijing's schools. It has suspended construction of new playgrounds until new guidelines are released.

A dog meat festival in Southwest China's Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region has been held as before, but the scale has been greatly reduced, thanks to the local government's pledge to take action against public slaughter of dogs. Peter Li, a China policy specialist at Humane Society International, has visited the festival in Yulin County for the past three years. He said the atmosphere there this year was more peaceful than previous festival. Li said he hardly saw any abuse or slaughtering in the street, and it is neither a nightmare nor a festival. In response to Hong Kong legislator Michael Tien Puk-sun's petition to end the festival, the local government promised to ban dog slaughter in public and to check the health certificates of dogs transported from outside. Food safety and the problem of stolen pet dogs are the major objections against the annual event. The festival is held in the county around the summer solstice, a day on the Chinese lunar calendar after which the hottest days of the year are expected. In recent years, the festival has been shrinking in scale due to pressure both domestic and from abroad. According to Humane Society International, a notorious dog slaughtering peak was seen around 2012 and 2013, when more than 10,000 dogs were killed in three days. The number dropped to 2,000 last year. Ever since the festival became a lightning rod for criticisms in 2012, the local government has said little beyond reiterating that there is no "organized festival" and it's just a local people's gathering event. A local publicity official also said that dog meat is a valid food choice in the local area, but not a habit as some activists put it. The official said the local government has made efforts to address public concerns over food security and the safety of pet dogs. However, he said that there is no legal basis to forbid people from eating the animal's meat. You're listening to Special English. I'm Mark Griffiths in Beijing. （全文见周六微信。）

He shares with Khierstyn many tips and strategies that truly set his brand apart from others and allowed Atlas to well exceed their goals. Peter offers advice to new funders who are ready to tackle their goals. Peter Li launched a high-tech product and understood his market from the beginning. The first product launched by Altas Wearables was the Atlas Wristband, a high-tech fitness tracker that leaves its competitors in the dust. The mind-boggling capabilities of this one-of-a-kind tracker sets it apart from the rest, which Peter knew would give him the edge when it came to crowdfunding. The key was to start spreading the word early and gain the attention of the target market in order to get the backers they needed. Peter shares the timeline leading up to the campaign and how he approached building his email list. Because of the unique nature of his product, it was all about connecting with the people who were looking for a solution to the problem the Atlas Wristband solves. Using events and networking to build your list. Peter Li believes in keeping your foot on the gas throughout the campaign when it comes to networking. In the 9 months prior to the campaign, the Atlas team attended events, meetups and conferences where their audience would be. This allowed them to build their list, network, and connect with people who could propel the campaign forward. The most important part of building an email list? Understanding the problem and how your product solves it. Peter also shares why they chose crowdfunding instead of going straight to retail, knowing how unique the product was. How did you maintain momentum throughout the campaign? Maintaining momentum is key to the long-term success of your campaign. Altas Wearables started off strong, hitting their goal early in the game. But, how did they maintain this momentum? According to Peter, it’s all about continuing to network even after your campaign has started. He shares the importance of continuing to get the word out and how it really lies on the shoulders of the funder to make sure that happens.

I'm a meathead. Or a lunkhead. Whatever you want to call it, I am addicted to physical fitness. My philosophy is simple: Go to the gym. Lift the heaviest weights I can for as many times as I can. Stop thinking. Just lift. I also love all things wearable so when I saw Peter Li's company on Indiegogo a while back I knew I had to speak with him because it combined my love of the lunk with my love of the mobile.   Peter's company is Atlas Wearables and are focused exclusively on the fitness vertical with their first product. To say this device is sophisticated would not do it justice. To say that Peter and his team have learned lessons while collecting over $600,000 through their IndieGoGo campaign and trying to decipher the difference between a normal pushup and a triangle pushup in real time would be an understatement (the latter took close to 1 full year to do).    The thing that should resonate with you while you watch this important episode is the opportunities that are out there as a result of mobile. Niche markets, established markets - it doesn't matter any more because when you redesign with mobile in mind, the platform is level, incumbents are at a disadvantage and innovation happens with guys like Peter.   Full show notes can be found here: http://untether.tv/2014/ep-512-how-focusing-on-a-niche-brought-techcrunch-and-630000-from-indiegogo-with-altas-wearables-co-founder-peter-li/

In this programme a field report from Saba Douglas-Hamilton of Save the Elephants from the Samburu National Park in Kenya. Saba sees first-hand the sight of an elephant shot for its ivory. Monty Don explores some of the wider issues in Africa with David Western, Chairman of the Africa Conservation Centre in Kenya, and speaks with Dr Peter Li, associate professor of East Asian Politics at University of Houston-Downtown. With many commentators and scientists saying the end markets for ivory are too large to supply from legally traded ivory, what argument will save elephants from the huge market incentive to kill elephants for their ivory?
