This webinar will discuss the evolution of the under-reported great ape black market. The webinar will feature experts in the field who will discuss the findings of the report "Empty forests: How politics, economics and corruption fuel live great ape trafficking" and their implications for great ape conservation efforts. They will also discuss the challenges of mitigating the illegal trade in great apes, including the political and economic interests of corrupt government and law enforcement officials that facilitate the trade, and the under-reporting of great apes seized in illegal trade incidents.
