The undercover investigator of the illegal trade in timber and ivory gave Tim exclusive access to interview the unsung heroes of wildlife conservation. Although Tim was familiar with the issues surrounding wildlife conservation in Southeast Asia he wanted to get behind the headlines to meet the people working on the front line of conservation in Vietnam. He wanted find out what motivated them, what their biggest challenges were and what they were doing to overcome them.
