Before coming to Carthage and studying paleontology, Andy worked for the United Nations helping combat global wildlife crime.
“As an expert on the elephant ivory trade and other wildlife crime issues, I was able to bring to light the unethical issues of the growing demand for wildlife products and how fossil crime is linked to wildlife crime and other sources of criminal income,” says Andy.
