Christian Nellemann, a UNEP senior officer and PhD, is known for his work on investigating illegal exploitation and poaching of endangered wildlife and their habitats for the UN. He has conducted numerous expeditions across the planet and has been featured on major international news channels on alarming news stories on loss of wildlife, forests and coral reefs. Best known is his work on the great apes, counterpoaching and anti-smuggling operations, that has involved military action, such as in Indonesia 2007 with the apprehension and arrest of loggers, smugglers and poachers by police, naval and army forces after alarming disclosures of illegal activities in National parks in the country. With over a hundred publications, Nellemann has studied and tracked wildlife including reindeer, caribou, muskoxen, tibetan gazelles, African elephants and brown bears and many others and published numerous papers on their terrain use and conservation. He has worked in polar, mountain, rainforest and desert environments for long periods, as well as in conflict zones involving illegal exploitation and smuggling of wildlife. He has in recent years been leading Rapid Response investigations for the UN in Latin America, Africa and Asia, as well as undertaking marine and coastal investigations.
