    Top 10 Posts for June 2015

    July 6, 2015 By Schuyler Null

    Wildlife trafficking has exploded in recent years and now contributes significant funds to major criminal organizations and even terrorism. That puts it squarely in the realm of national security, according to a research project by the University of Texas, Austin. Cameron Lagrone and Josh Busby explain the connection in last month’s most popular post.

    Joining them were the launch of two major ECSP initiatives: a report for the G7 governments on climate-fragility risks and steps to address them, which Secretary Kerry recently endorsed on behalf of the United States, and the latest short film in our “Healthy People, Healthy Environment” series, Paving the Way: Ethiopia’s Youth on the Road to Sustainability.
