Earth Focus: "Illicit Ivory" Press Materials

Earth Focus: "Illicit Ivory" comes during a pivotal time when an elephant is killed by poachers every 20 minutes to feed an insatiable demand for ivory. African elephants may be gone in as little as ten years as a result of organized crime syndicates, rebel groups, militias and insurgents. The film also explores education initiatives letting consumers know that buying an ivory trinket means that an elephant actually has to die.
