  • Summary

  • Daniel Studies studied anthropology and archaeology at the University of California, Berkeley, and at the University of Aix-Marseille in France, obtaining his Ph.D. in 1981, and has lectured at UC Berkeley, University of Nairobi, University of Paris X and Oxford University, focusing on past and present human ecology and evolution.

    Since 1983 Stiles worked in land and natural resource management at UNEP, UNDP, UNICEF and the UN Research Institute for Social Development up to 1997, shifting into contemporary wildlife trade research in 1999, beginning with ivory and branching out to rhino horn, pangolin scales, big cat products and live great apes. These investigations led Stiles to the Internet and social media platforms, where hehas uncovered hundreds of accounts dealing in all manner of illegal wildlife.

    We talk about his past work, what it's like setting up sting operations throughout Africa and Southeast Asia to combat illegal wildlife trafficking and sales, and where the big advocacy groups fall short on primates. He also provides a fascinating presentation that can be seen during our discussion on video at: Patreon at www.patreon.com/ExitStrategyShow.
