Mapping Terra Incognita: An Expert Elicitation of Women's Roles in Wildlife Trafficking

The gender dimensions of wildlife trafficking remain understudied even though the problem is of great socio-environmental significance. Data about the roles of women in wildlife trafficking offer critically needed indicators that can contribute to building evidence and setting targets for, and monit...
