IMRE LOEFLER LECTURE || BATTLE FOR THE ELEPHANTS BY DR PAULA KAHUMBU

Organised By The East African Wild Life Society & Karen Country Club || Wednesday 12th June 2013. Paula Kahumbu, the CEO of WildlifeDirect, heading the campaign to end the slaughter of Elephants across Africa by creating awareness, will first introduce the film. This hour-long film Battle for the Elephants explores the brutal slaughter of African elephants for their tusks, fueled largely by China’s demand for ivory. This groundbreaking National Geographic special goes undercover to expose the criminal network behind ivory's supply and demand.

It also demonstrates how the elephant, with its highly evolved society, keen intelligence, ability to communicate across vast distances and to love, remember and even mourn, is far more complex than ever imagined.
