What brought me here was an article shared on LinkedIn from this platform about the use of computer tools to combat illegal trafficking of species. For almost 20 years I have worked in the Cuban environmental authority, first as a specialist in issues related to the safe use of biotechnology and more recently about 5 years ago in the CITES Management Authority. My interest in this platform is mainly aimed at keeping up to date on topics such as the one that brought me here, that is, the use of computer tools by law enforcement and environmental authorities to combat and monitor illegal trade in protected species.
