Scientific superhero Diego talks about finding Mako shark in pet food, being in the room with illegal smugglers, giving authorities the ability to test shark fins for DNA and the general struggle of upholding the law when it comes to sharks. 

Columbian born Diego is not only the brains and brawn behind so many papers in regards to the fin trade and the collecting of samples on the ground, but was also behind the groundbreaking science featured in the Sharkwater Extinction film through the genetic identification of threatened shark species in pet food and beauty care products. 

In this podcast, he talks to me about the effects of Covid-19 on the shark fin trade, what it's like to live in China for a year collecting shark fins and how his work is revolutionizing the way we find illegal trafficking of shark fins from protected species. This particular podcast is a must-listen for anyone questioning their involvement in science VS conservation and anyone that needs to be inspired by the movements occurring to save the most threatened of the shark species.

In Australia, sharks aren’t considered “animals” under the animal welfare legislation act. Therefore extreme acts of cruelty are commonplace. From the shark fin trade to the treatment of these animals, we lift the veil on Australia’s contribution.   

In this podcast, we look deep into the consequences of a system that doesn’t protect these animals with the founder of shark conservation Australia, an environmental lawyer, and my best friend, Ashley Avci. Have we too much faith in our country to be a leader in the environmental sector, or are we contributing to the shark fin trade at a rate that will shock you?  

From involvement in individual animal law cases to the creation of legislation bills designed to protect sharks, Ashley shares her insight into battling with the government to do more for sharks. Australians have for a long time been viewed as guardians of their wilderness, but as our attention grows on places like China and Indonesia for their contribution to the shark fin trade, this podcast will teach you that there is a grave need to look inward, to our own backyard for injustice.
