Episode Twelve - Shamini Jayanathan

Africa's is known for its extraordinary wildlife and conservation efforts. Because of weak rule of law, this is under threat.  African lawyers are toiling to address the problem but there are issues of resources and capacity that undermine the ability of prosecutors to prioritise wildlife cases alongside all of the other serious criminal matters that they have to deal with.

In this podcast, we gain exclusive insights from criminal barrister,  Shamini Jayanathan who gives us a unique insight into the challenges - and some of the solutions -   based on her experience working with lawyers and in courtrooms across Africa. Here she explains why a more holistic approach to criminal justice is required if we are to succeed in the fight against wildlife crime. 

Inspiring positivity together.

...Together we make Tofauti.
