The Last Animals

[Flutterby]

Powerful, shocking, sobering, heartbreaking .....


The Last Animals is a story about an extraordinary group of people who go to incredible lengths to save the planet’s last animals. The documentary follows the conservationists, scientists and activists battling poachers and criminal networks to protect elephants and rhinos. From Africa’s front lines to behind the scenes of Asian markets to the United States, the film takes an intense look at the global response to this slaughter and the desperate measures to genetically rescue the Northern White rhinos who are on the edge of extinction.

I watched this on Sundance, DSTV Channel 108. I think it might also be on Netflix. It's really worth watching.

In the world, there are hundreds of people fighting for the salvage of the few wild animals left, but if the governments do not do their part, it will never be sufficient. Lots of documentaries are released every year which should be an eyeopener, but if they do not reach the right people or influence the ones who have the power to do something, things will never change in time

Africa and Asia are the most corrupt continents and if that does not change, the above will not change and the wild animals will be lost forever
