Award-winning director Kathryn Bigelow teams up with African Wildlife Foundation
and conservation partners to fight the illegal ivory trade and the terrorists
who profit from it. "Last Days," a short animated film focused on ivory-funded
terrorism, premiered alongside the launch of Bigelow's
new website, which aims to bring the ivory trade and individuals who profit
from it out of business in order to protect both elephants and innocent people.
Angalifu,
the San Diego Zoo's 44-year-old northern white rhino, died from old age on
December 14. His passing leaves just five of his kind behind in the world,
bringing the species even closer to extinction. As we mourn this loss, AWF is
urgently responding to the threats faced by the southern white rhino to ensure
it does not meet the same fate.
