Leigh leads policy efforts related to wildlife conservation. Since joining the WWF family in 2001, Leigh’s work has encompassed drafting Congressional testimony, commenting on and drafting proposed legislation and rulemakings, assisting in the prosecution and sentencing phases of high-profile wildlife trade cases, and leading WWF’s efforts around CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) and the International Whaling Commission. She has played a key role in our efforts to combat illegal tiger trade and to ensure the survival of wild tigers through improved international and U.S. policies. More recently, she was a core member of the Stop Wildlife Trade campaign, which helped to secure unprecedented global and U.S. leadership and commitment to end poaching and wildlife crime.
