The tale of an international crisis that involves the poaching, smuggling, and illegal trade of protected species. The Wild Life takes an unprecedented look at the corrupt, dangerous, and fascinating world of the wildlife trade. A Kingpin has his downfall as investigative reporter Runako Celina unpacks the complex systems surrounding illegal animal products, including the criminalization of poverty as well as the motivations driving demand. It's a wild ride, where nothing is as it initially seems.CREDITS:Executive Produced by - Drake, Adel “Future” Nur, Peter Nelson, Maggie Gilbride (DreamCrew Entertainment); Coral Lee (Luminary); Max O’Brien (Novel); Mauricio Gris and Alex Farquharson (Thread Studios)Host - Runako CelinaProducer - Saskia EdwardsAdditional Production - Julian Manuguerra-Patten and Jake OtajovicResearcher - Madeleine ParrEditor - Mythili RaoOriginal music composer - Jake LongMusic Supervisor- Nicholas AlexanderSound designer and mixer - David SmithFact checker - Dania SulemanVoice of Wolf - Ivan IvashkinFollow Pull the Thread: The Wild Life wherever you get your podcasts.To hear episodes early and ad-free subscribe to the Luminary Channel on Apple Podcasts, or directly on LuminaryFOLLOW:Luminary: @hearluminaryDrake’s DreamCrew Entertainment: @dreamcrewNovel: @novelpodcastsThread Studios: @threadstudiosukRunako Celina: @runakocelina Focused Conservation:@focused.conservation
