Professor Lee White: Will African Elephants Survive This Generation?

Professor Lee White: Will African Elephants Survive This Generation?
Professor Lee White, Director of Gabon’s National Parks Agency, discusses the devastating decline of forest elephants to poaching in the last decade and how the international demand for ivory has led to the elephants becoming like "refugees" to avoid being massacred. “I don’t want to be the generation that killed the African elephant, and if we’re not careful that’s what my generation will do,” says White in this dramatic interview produced by the World Bank-led Global Wildlife Program.
