Inspired by IDF training, Israeli activist spearheads fight against global wildlife crime

Israeli activist Ofir Drori, inspired by his experiences in the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), has dedicated his life to combating illegal wildlife trafficking in Africa. Despite laws against wildlife crime dating back to the 1990s, enforcement was minimal due to systemic corruption. Drori, who grew up in Tel Aviv and developed a fascination with Africa through childhood stories, shifted his academic path after a transformative journey across the continent. His activism, informed by IDF training in undercover operations and strategic thinking, has led to the arrest of thousands of traffickers. Drori emphasizes the need for innovative approaches and grassroots efforts to address this global crisis, which he ranks as one of the largest organized crimes alongside drug and arms trafficking.
