This book is a must-read to understand the securitization and militarization of conservation and its unintended consequences. -Tanya Wyatt, author of Wildlife Trafficking: A Deconstruction of the Crime, Victims, and Offenders A groundbreaking critique of the recent 'securitization' of the illegal wildlife trade - one that pushes us beyond black-and-white narratives toward more just, ethical, and decolonial conservation futures. -Liana Chua, University of Cambridge /The Global Lives of the Orangutan project This is a necessary read for critical times: a brilliant analysis of the securitization of wildlife conservation, and an urgent reminder of the structural conditions that brought us here. -Diana Ojeda, Universidad de los Andes
