Olga Biegus

Looking back on a 10 year career in international development projects, my focus of work has increasingly shifted towards the connection between environmental protection, development and security. To better link my experience, skills and knowledge to the discussions in criminology, policing and legal studies I am taking a second Master level course in Criminology, Law and Society at Africa’s leading University of Cape Town. The institution with an active role in ISS Africa, Global Initiative against Transnational Organised Crime and Environmental Security Observatory has a growing reputation in the field of wildlife crime, and my research project will be conducted under the supervision of staff members of the faculty of Law actively involved in all above initiatives.
