Extinction Sucks: Asian Elephants

The burgeoning Indian population, and the constant threat of ivory poaching, have reduced the Asian elephant population to just 30,000. Aleisha Caruso, and her best friend Ashleigh Young, are two Australian girls determined to do something about it. They throw a Junk in your Trunk fundraiser to raise money for the Indian forestry teams so they can buy night vision binoculars to detect elephant poachers in the dark. They travel to Mudumalai National Park in Southern India to meet the elephant conservation teams and witness tigers just metres from where they’re standing, stampeding elephants and the remains of an elephant shot for it’s ivory.
