Jim Wickens

In 2003 Jim Wickens helped to set up Ecostorm, an undercover environmental investigation unit that has pioneered undercover and investigative reporting techniques around the world. Over the last decade the unit has risked life and limb to film undercover in over 50 countries. Their footage has opened eyes, changed consumer practices and helped change laws and enforcement world-wide. From whale meat smuggling networks in Japan to the annual seal cull on the barren beaches of Namibia, Jim and the Ecostorm team seek to expose environmental injustice, animal abuse and human rights violations.
