LAGA"s award winning model for a wildlife law enforcement non-governmental organization has started in Cameroon and is now replicated in the Republic of the Congo, the Central African Republic, and Gabon. The model has already been set up under the PALF project in Congo-Brazzaville and the RALF project in Central Africa Republic with arrests and prosecutions carried out. In Gabon, the AALF project is responsible for replication under the non-governmental organization Conservation Justice.
Apart of Central Africa, the model is on-going in Togo under the TALFF project and in Guinea-Conakry under the GALF project
In 2005, based on the experience of fighting corruption in the judiciary and the forces of law and order, he has founded another non-governmental organization, called Anti Corruption in Cameroon, or Air Corps–Cameroon, which focuses on establishing Anti-Corruption law enforcement in Cameroon, and involving citizens in the fight against corruption through direct legal action. Drori co-wrote The Last Great Ape: A Journey Through Africa and a Fight for the Heart of the Continent with David McDannald ().
Survives Crocodile Attack
In December 2013, Drori was attacked by a 3-meter long Nile crocodile while vacationing along the Omo River in Ethiopia, but he managed to escape death. Despite his injuries Drori was able to reach a village and eventually was moved to hospital in Adis Ababa, and then to a hospital in Israel.
This incident is reminiscent of Australian eco-activist Val Plumwood who also survived a crocodile attack in 1985, and she subsequently wrote of it in her landmark 1996 essay "Being Prey".
