#FLIRWWF

$20 billion. That’s how much wildlife criminals are estimated to make annually from illegal wildlife trade. Demand for elephant ivory & rhino horn has reached unprecedented levels & poachers are more dangerous than ever. FLIR, World Wildlife Fund, an acclaimed journalist & a park ranger will discuss thermal cameras and AI deployed across Africa, tech that’s enabling rangers to protect themselves & the world’s most endangered species. It’s working. Poachers are being stopped.
