ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Australia's native reptiles are highly sought after overseas, with some fetching hundreds and thousands of dollars.
But exporting live native reptiles for commercial purposes is illegal — so criminal networks are finding other ways to get them out of the country.
This week, we're looking at the illegal trade in Australian reptiles, and the unlikely group of people getting caught up in it.
Host Gabby Katanasho is joined by Dr Sebastian Chekunov, who's extensively researched wildlife crime, to unpack how the trade works, where our reptiles are going, and why it matters
Guest:
- Dr Sebastian Chekunov, Adelaide University Wildlife Crime Research Hub
