CNN Features PeunPa, member of Wildlife Alliance

April 20, 2007

In March, CNN correspondent Anderson Cooper and Animal Planet's Jeff Corwin joined our staff and followed our work as part of their new "Planet in Peril" series.

This series involved contributions from both the Bangkok and Phnom Penh offices of the Wildlife Alliance and aired for 4 straight days on CNN in late March. Andersen Cooper also interviewed the US Ambassador to Thailand, Ralph Boyce, on the United States' policy of assisting Southeast Asian countries fight against wildlife crime.

The 4 segments focused on illegal wildlife trade in Jatujak Weekend Market, illegal markets inside Burma, and on-going commercial poaching inside Cambodia.
