Poaching Pictures

Living on Earth

Patrick Brown tracks the illegal wildlife trade in Asia ?with a camera. His black and white photos tell the story of the business of trafficking animals–from the small-time poacher to the tables at the marketplace to international airports and Scotland Yard whose staff of four is charged with curbing wildlife smuggling. Brown tells Living on Earth’s Jeff Young that he hopes to use his work to educate some of the people involved in the business.
