[ Ссылка ], Wildlife Trafficking and Security in Africa – a joint publication from RUSI and King’s College London’s Marjan Centre for the Study of War and the Non-Human Sphere – examines the most common narratives on poaching, wildlife trafficking and security. It critically analyses the dominant perceptions of poaching and wildlife trafficking as threats to human security, as drivers of conflict, as funders of terrorism and as revenue streams for organised crime. In doing so, it seeks to sort myth from reality, to clarify how poaching and wildlife trafficking, as much-cited threats to security, can most accurately be conceived. Such a study is crucial to the efforts of the range of actors now rightly looking
to respond to the threat posed not only to endangered species, but also to the security and wellbeing of human beings.
