GEOG's Meredith Gore to Work with Convicted Wildlife Traffickers to Curb Wildlife Crime

Meredith Gore, an Associate Professor in the University of Maryland's Department of Geographical Sciences, will be continuing to combat wildlife crime with the help of convicted wildlife traffickers in Oregon, details a recent article from National Geographic. The novel sentencing tactic, which requires offenders to attend weekly Zoom sessions with Gore, aims to help offenders understand and make amends for their crimes, and could potentially inform wildlife trafficking policy and prevention efforts.
