Title: Ivory Wars
Format: Documentary
Broadcaster: Discovery
Over two decades after Discovery first examined elephant poaching with “Ivory Wars” and the international ivory trade was banned by the Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species, the problem remains far from eradicated.
In a new Discovery special, the channel teamed up with the BBC to investigate both illegal elephant poaching and ivory sales in Africa.
“With the African elephant killings continuing at an alarming rate, it’s time to once again bring this issue to the forefront and educate viewers about the plight of these magnificent animals.”
