Short film: The Ivory Crisis (5min)

It is not only the rhinos that are getting illegally killed by poachers in great numbers in Africa, but also the African elephants. While rhino poaching is mainly taking place in South Africa, the poachers in East Africa are about to wipe out the elephants living in parks such as the Samburu National Reserve in Kenya. The short film "The Ivory Crisis", produced by Peck Euwer of Swell Pictures, helps to explain the great threat that Africa's elephants are currently facing. Please spread the word!
