On Saturday, I attended a captivating lecture by renowned criminologist, researcher, and expert in counter-wildlife trafficking strategies, Monique Sosnowski, at the Asia Society in the Upper East Side. Her infectious humor and focus on data-driven criminal tracking left a lasting impression.
She was getting an award from The Explorers Club for her work, as one of the clubs Next Generation of explorers. Here’s a link; https://50.explorers.org/
Sosnowski’s multidisciplinary approach seamlessly bridges academia, global policy, and on-the-ground training to address pressing environmental and criminal justice challenges. She’s conducted counter-wildlife trafficking trainings for governmental agencies and NGOs in Kyrgyzstan and Brazil, equipping stakeholders with practical tools to combat illegal wildlife trade. She’s also developed internationally utilized digital training modules for large NGOs, emphasizing innovative, data-driven approaches to enforcement and prevention.
A trailblazing female leader in law enforcement and wildlife crime prevention, Sosnowski has made significant contributions to research spanning over 20 publications across academic journals and NGO reports. Her research explores the intersections of organized crime, environmental exploitation, and wildlife trafficking, featured in esteemed journals like Conservation Science and Practice, Biological Conservation, and Deviant Behavior. Notably, her publication “An Empirical Assessment of Drug Trafficking Trends from Latin America into the United States: The Role of Fishing” delves into criminal convergence and how illicit networks operate.
Monique’s passion for diversity and inclusion in global conservation drives her work with organizations like PEW Charitable Trusts and Earth League International. She actively fosters interdisciplinary collaboration to find innovative solutions to complex global issues. Monique’s groundbreaking approaches and unwavering dedication inspire others to embrace bold, creative methods in addressing pressing global challenges.
