Jamie Joseph - Saving the Wild

From Saturday Morning, 11:10 am on 28 October 2017

Jamie Joseph was raised in Durban, South Africa. She moved to London at the age of 20 to work for Microsoft, and five years later moved back to South Africa to produce music, arts and culture festivals that united the rainbow nation. Joseph followed her family to New Zealand in 2009. In Aotearoa she worked for TEDxAuckland while campaigning for the Global Poverty Project, and for a ban on shark finning. In 2014, she answered to the 'call of the wild', returning to her African homeland to join the war on poaching. She has spent the past four years publishing stories from the frontline on her website savingthewild.com. Joseph has returned to New Zealand to reconnect with her network, raise critical funding, and drum up support in the battle to expose and eliminate what she claims is a Zululand syndicate of corrupt magistrates and prosecutors protecting not only rhino poachers and kingpins, but also other violent criminals.
