Summary:

In 1999, elephants face a new threat to their survival. The ivory trade is reopening. Japanese traders and consumers want ivory, and poachers all over Africa and Asia are determined to provide it. The story of the men and women at war with the poachers, this film looks at that war's three fronts: the bush, where they're fighting well-armed bandits; the cities where they're up against networks of middlemen; and the minds of the consumers in the Far East. At a time of unprecedented global species extinction, can we afford to take any chances?
