Leigh oversees policy efforts related to wildlife conservation and trade – from leading on efforts surrounding CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species), the Endangered Species Act, and the IWC (International Whaling Commission), to drafting Congressional testimony, commenting on and drafting proposed legislation and rulemakings, and assisting in the prosecution and sentencing phases of high-profile wildlife trade cases. Leigh plays a key role in our efforts to combat illegal tiger trade and to ensure the survival of wild tigers through improved international and U.S. policies, as well as assisting with TRAFFIC’s overall efforts to ensure sustainable and legal wildlife trade.
