EVERYONE IS WELCOME TO JOIN THE SEMINAR
Environmental Policy Roundtable
Friday, April 29, 2011
Room 1101 Van Munching Hall, 12:15 - 1:30pm
Nathan Herschler, IFAW – Ivory Trade and the U.S.
Nathan Herschler will discuss the US legal and regulatory structure that allows the ivory trade to flourish in the U.S., so much so that many experts think we're the second largest consumer of illegal ivory in the world.
Mr. Herschler is a staff attorney with IFAW—The International Fund for Animal Welfare. Prior to joining IFAW in 2008, he graduated from American University, Washington College of Law where he focused on environmental and animal law. In addition to his work at IFAW and previous employment with other animal protection organizations, Mr. Herschler is the 2011-2012 of the Maryland State Bar Association Animal Law Section, has co-chaired his Student Animal Legal Defense Fund law school chapter, lectured on animal law issues, and volunteered with a number of animal advocacy groups.
We look forward to seeing you at our discussion.
Best,
Your EESG Team
