ABOUT THE INTERNATIONAL ELEPHANT FILM FESTIVAL The International Elephant Film Festival (IEFF) empowers worldwide public engagement efforts to inspire personal responsibility and stewardship for elephant conservation and in creating an equitable and sustainable future. The International Elephant Film Festival is presented by Jackson Hole WILD & United Nations/CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora). IEFF is a direct result of the 2015 Jackson Hole Elephant Conservation Summit, a unique event that brought together media creators, distributors and elephant conservationists and scientists to find integrated solutions to the drastic decimation of the elephant population. The call for entry closed January 15, 2016 with finalists announced in February. Winners will be celebrated at a high level event to coincide with global launch of World Wildlife Day at UN Headquarters in NYC, on March 3, 2016. Winning/Finalist Films will be subsequently showcased extensively throughout the world, with specifically targeted areas to include African nations, China, the United States, Vietnam and Thailand, through screening events and local broadcast stations. Subtitled DVDs will be distributed free to schools and libraries, free screenings for local NGOs and elephant stakeholders to incorporate into their own programming. Participants are asked to submit media in one or more of the following categories: Issues and Solutions, Elephant Hero, People and Elephants, Asian Elephants, Elephant Science, African Voices and MicroMovie/Short Program (under 5 minutes). Programs created since January 1, 2007 were eligible for consideration.

ABOUT WORLD WILDLIFE DAY - MARCH 3, 2016 On 20 December 2013, at its 68th session, the United Nations General Assembly decided to proclaim 3 March, the day of signature of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), as UN World Wildlife Day to celebrate and raise awareness of the world’s wild animals and plants. The UNGA resolution also designates the CITES Secretariat as the facilitator for the global observance of this special day for wildlife on the UN calendar. World Wildlife Day will be celebrated in 2016 under the theme:
“The future of wildlife is in our hands.” African and Asian elephants will be a main focus of the Day under the theme:
“The future of elephants is in our hands” Countries around the world are encouraged to highlight species of wild animals and plants from their own countries, adapting the global theme to suit. The world’s wildlife, whether charismatic or lesser known, is facing many challenges. The biggest threats to wildlife are habitat loss as well as overgrazing, farming and development. Poaching and trafficking in wildlife driven by transnational organized crime groups pose the most immediate threat to many iconic species. Elephants, pangolins, rhinoceros, sharks, tigers and precious tree species are among the most critically poached and trafficked species across the world.

ABOUT CITES CITES (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) is an international agreement between governments. Its aim is to ensure that international trade in specimens of wild animals and plants does not threaten their survival. Widespread information nowadays about the endangered status of many prominent species, such as the tiger and elephants, might make the need for such a convention seem obvious. But at the time when the ideas for CITES were first formed, in the 1960s, international discussion of the regulation of wildlife trade for conservation purposes was something relatively new. With hindsight, the need for CITES is clear. Annually, international wildlife trade is estimated to be worth billions of dollars and to include hundreds of millions of plant and animal specimens. The trade is diverse, ranging from live animals and plants to a vast array of wildlife products derived from them, including food products, exotic leather goods, wooden musical instruments, timber, tourist curios and medicines. Levels of exploitation of some animal and plant species are high and the trade in them, together with other factors, such as habitat loss, is capable of heavily depleting their populations and even bringing some species close to extinction. Many wildlife species in trade are not endangered, but the existence of an agreement to ensure the sustainability of the trade is important in order to safeguard these resources for the future.
ABOUT JACKSON HOLE WILD From its inception in 1991, the JH Wildlife Film Festival has grown to become the most influential and prestigious international media industry conference of the natural history film genre. It is considered a “mustdo” event, within this industry genre. Of its 650+ delegates (factual media industry executives and professionals), and the JHWFF Board of Directors is comprised of some of the most respected companies in international nonfiction media creation and broadcast. The signature film competition that anchors the conference is considered the “Oscars™ of nature filmmaking” and in 2013, more than 900 entries competed for 23 prestigious film awards. Jackson Hole Wildlife Film Festival (and now, the Jackson Hole Conservation Summit) has a solid reputation for being extraordinary: it is a place where collaboration and innovation thrive, where ideas are launched and strategic partnerships are formed. This unprecedented 3-day summit engaged participants from around the world to address the dramatic decimation of African elephants that threatens the entire species. We created a viable platform for stakeholders from two discrete worlds - elephant science & conservation and media content creators and distributors - to come together for the focused purpose of networking, collaborating and brainstorming integrated solutions and targeted action plans for the preservation and conservation of this most iconic species. IEFF is a direct result of the 2015 Jackson Hole Elephant Conservation Summit.

Echo, an Unforgettable Elephant 59 minutes | 15795
“A lot of what we know about elephant characters has been learnt from Echo, about their survival strategies, and leadership and loyalty, as well as many other characteristics which scientists are more reluctant to attribute to animals; like love, and foresight, and wisdom. A group of remarkably dedicated women studied Echo for over 40 years, following her every day until she died at the age of 65, of old age.” (David Attenborough quote from the program introduction)

Let Them Live 2 minutes | 15690
The story explores the possibility of “what if we could give it back”: ivory carvings are returned to the sculptor, who turns them magically back into elephant tusks; they are then shipped to Kenya and placed by a dead elephant; the bullet comes back to the poacher’s gun, and the elephant rises, alive and well.
War of Space
5 minutes | 15774
Nearly everywhere elephants roam, human populations are now competing for the same space to make their living. In the Masaai Mara region of southwest Kenya, human/elephant conflict is rapidly becoming one of the leading causes of death for elephants. People are also on the receiving end of injury and death. What can be done? While government works to create zoning laws for development in elephant rangelands, many work to educate youth and find stopgaps to ease the conflict in heavily populated areas. War of Space explores human/elephant conflict in the Mara and shows how one group utilizes creative ways to mitigate the problem until more permanent solutions are found.

This short film explores the highs and lows of one of the most daring animal rescues in history. For the first time ever, a group of endangered forest elephants were captured and rescued from certain death in the Ivory Coast. The rescue team herded, darted, captured and trucked the elephants 300 miles to the protected area of Azagny National Park. Dubbed as an ‘impossible mission’, the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) completed the operation in January 2014. 18 minutes, English
A journey into the challenges of the survival of the Asian Elephant now down to less than 50, 000 in the wild across Asia with an estimated 30,000 surviving in India. A story of how they shape the forest landscape and how conservation of one umbrella or flagship species saves an array of stunning wildlife species as the film captures the bio-diverse verdant North Eastern Jungles of India. This holds especially true for elephants that need large areas to roam thus preserving huge forest landscapes. But human populations burgeoning around these ecological hotspots and ancient elephant lands, compete with wildlife for space and natural resources leading to increasingly severe man-elephant conflicts. 59 minutes, English

Issues & Solutions Battle for the Elephants explores the brutal slaughter of African elephants for their tusks, fueled largely by China’s demand for ivory. The film tells the ultimate wildlife story -- how the Earth’s most charismatic and majestic land animal today faces market forces driving the value of its tusks to levels once reserved for precious metals. Journalists Bryan Christy and Aidan Hartley take viewers undercover as they investigate the criminal network behind ivory’s supply and demand. In Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, one of the world’s main ports for smuggled ivory, Hartley attempts to buy large quantities of tusks from poachers. In China, Christy explores the thriving industry of luxury goods made from ivory and the ancient cultural tradition of ivory carving. 56 minutes, English

In 2013, teenage students from wildly different cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds spent a week together in Thailand on a learning exchange. For kids from regional Tasmania (Australia) it was the adventure of a lifetime. For girls from the hill tribes of Thailand’s remote north it was opportunity to explore a wider world they had not experienced. With no common language, the students shared various environmental learning and cultural activities. One special activity was the opportunity to get up close and personal with Thailand’s iconic animal, the Asian elephant. This exhilarating, intimate encounter touched everyone in a deeply personal way. 4 minutes, English
PAWS (Performing Animal Welfare Society) is an animal sanctuary founded by former Hollywood animal trainer Pat Derby and her partner, Ed Stewart, in 1984. What started as a small space intended only to care for Pat’s own retired animals has become one of the largest animal sanctuaries in the world, and a very unique way of life for Pat and Ed. In this show, we focus on the unique relationship they maintain with the eight elephants in residence. 5, English
Bloodbath is an extremely hardhitting 4K graphic short, which questions the naive religious belief of all who see God in an Ivory Idol. This one single factor creates an insatiable need for Ivory at the expense of African Elephants. This is the core reason for poaching of nearly one hundred thousand African Elephants in the last three years. This film aims to shake people up in the Far East to stop the mayhem their beliefs are causing, which will only lead to the extinction of the African Elephant. The film clearly defines the problem and offers a solution. 2 minutes, English

Protection measures and 20 years of prohibition of the ivory trade are making an impact: almost all countries in Africa are reporting a rise in elephant numbers. In the past two decades, the population of these grey giants doubled to over 30.000, alone in the Safari-Paradise of Kenya. At the same time the population of humans is growing. Man and elephant require space. Conflicts between both are unavoidable and the survival of the biggest land mammal is again endangered. The battle between humans and elephants is getting costlier and more grisly. Some countries react with culling, a worldwide controversial method. The goal of most countries is not to kill but to discourage the elephants from raiding the fields. Conservationists and gamekeepers of Africa are researching new methods to manage the jumbos: especially chile peppers seem very promising as the elephants’ long trunks are very sensitive to the hot spice. But the question remains: Is there any chance for a permanent and peaceful coexistence of humans and elephants? How many elephants can the African continent handle? 51 minutes, English

Chor Chang Can Save Elephants convinced 1.3 million Thais to publicly condemn the killing of elephants for their ivory by symbolically removing the Thai letter representing elephant, “Chor Chang” from their names. And it rapidly went viral with celebrities, artists, journalists, diplomats, government officials and people from across the country participating. The campaign became the top trending issue on social media in Thailand and helped significantly raise public awareness and spur government action on the illegal ivory trade. Coinciding with the campaign, the Elephant Ivory Act was passed, the first ever piece of legislation to regulate the trade in Thailand. 3 minutes, English

Common Ground is a feature documentary that explores the ancient relationship between humans and elephants in Sri Lanka. We discover how years of civil war and an expanding human population has affected that longstanding association. Very few animals on this planet are regarded both as an object of worship and as an enemy. The Asian Elephant is now defined by this paradox. As the total number of elephants in the wild continues to plummet, conservationists are developing some innovative solutions to preserve this legendary animal. 52 minutes, English
Crime Scene Wild - Elephants is a groundbreaking, documentary film investigating the huge illegal international trade in elephant ivory. With unprecedented access to illegal ivory carving factories in China, and the help of brave and dedicated individuals taking personal risks to thwart wildlife traffickers, the film follows the illicit ivory trail from elephant poachers in West Africa, killing for just a few dollars, all the way to the upmarket antiquities markets of Western Europe and the United States, where wealthy buyers pay thousands of dollars just to display a freshly-carved ivory trinket from a recently slaughtered elephant in their luxury mansions. 49 minutes, english

Elefamilia 15812 Issues & Solutions, Elephant Hero, People & Elephants, Science & Elephants Elefamilia is a documentary film that looks to the future of African elephant care and sustainability. Willie Thieson is the elephant Manager at the Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG aquarium and is renowned for his ability to communicate and build relationships with all animals, especially African elephants. We follow along as Willie and his team are confronted with many challenges as they prepare for the births of two new baby elephants. One of the mothers is an elephant named Moja who killed a handler in the past. With Willies support Moja was able to continue her life at the zoo and given an opportunity to start her own family. Although Moja and Willie have been working together since the accident there are still concerns about how the birth will affect her behavior. Through Willies perspective we learn how the zoo is creating healthy family groups that live in natural herd structures where the elephants can be elephants and live a lifestyle that is as close to living in the wild as possible. 52 minutes, English PRODUCTION CO Boccella Productions, LLC PRODUCER Mia Boccella-Hartle, Thomas E.

An intrinsic part of Asian culture and ethos for centuries, over time, the range of the Asian elephant has shrunk dramatically. Fragmentation of their habitat has forced elephants into closer proximity of people resulting in damage to crops, habitation and even human life. Professor Raman Sukumar, acknowledged as the world’s authority on the behavior and ecology of Asian elephants, has been studying the conflict between people and the Asian elephant. In this 25-minute film he gives his candid opinion on the situation and the outlook for the species. We get a glimpse of his scientific work, the remarkable people who work with him and the charismatic Asian elephant. 22 minutes, English
We discuss and illustrate the importance of elephants in their ecosystems, and by extension other keystone species, as well as the natural systems themselves. It is geared toward the general public, especially younger audiences. The original English episode was aired in 2014, with an animation-only version plus transcript released online for download and translation. It has since been independently translated into Malay, Indonesian, Sinhalese, Khmer, and more are being produced. It has also been incorporated into a teacher resource kit, available online and aired in local television channels in some countries. 4 minutes, English
During the dry season in the Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe, there isn’t enough water or food. The fifty thousand elephants that live there need to migrate. We follow one gang of fifteen on their journey to the Chobe River in Botswana. Led by its matriarch, the gang is completely made up of her offspring and it’s her responsibility to get her family safely to the river. Despite all the dangers, the matriarch’s gang makes it. She didn’t give up. She did her best to protect her offspring. They are her family. And to an elephant, family is everything. 50 minutes, English

Mayhem is about to break out in Namibia’s Etosha National Park. This sprawling, arid land plays host to the highest concentration of elephants on Earth, and they’ve recently lost their leader. The quest to become the new elephant king is on, and the candidates are all six-ton giants, willing to throw their weight around.

The EPI was launched by leaders from Botswana, Chad, Ethiopia, Gabon and Tanzania during the 2014 London Conference on Illegal Wildlife Trade in 2015. In 2015, Uganda, Malawi, Kenya, The Gambia, The Republic of Congo and Liberia formally joined the EPI. The film was created in 8 languages. 1 minute, English

But, behind the scenes these magnificent animals endure cruel and stressful ‘training’ to make them safe for the public something tourists are completely unaware of. This animation is a part of our Wildlife, not Entertainers global campaign and tells the story of the suffering of both Asian and African elephants used in entertainment, giving a clear picture of the nature and scale of the problem in Asia and highlighting the emerging threat to African elephants brought by the spread of elephant riding in South Africa and beyond. 2 minutes, english
In the Asian culture, elephants are a mythological symbol of greatness, respect and good luck, but in the real life these animals are dying every day because of humans. A tame elephant is forced to work very hard, either on illegal deforestation or in the tourism business by doing circus tricks, painting with their trunks, carrying tourists on heavy mounts, etc. On the other hand, wild elephants that live in the jungle have to struggle constantly to survive. There is hope for this endangered species, and it is in our hands. 49 minutes, English

A group of endangered desertdwelling elephants roams the oldest desert on earth. Extraordinary in their endurance, the small families make marathon treks across the remote northwest of Namibia, traversing some of the most dramatic, arid and austere scenery in the world. Following a poaching holocaust in the 1980’s, only three remained. Now that large-scale poaching has ended, every single calf is vital. Himba and Dusty are born in a boom year, but when the short-lived rivers on which they rely disappear underground, their lives depend on the memories, experience and decisions of the females who lead their tiny families. 59 minutes, English
An extraordinary journey with Dr. Mike Chase, an elephant researcher from Botswana, who is unravelling the secrets of these gentle giants, and trying to prevent an almost inevitable catastrophe that could see 60,000 elephants die. Mike uncovers startling ancient elephant migration routes, negotiates the land-mines of Angola, crosses desolate salt pans, collars and radio-tracks elephants from a plane, probing for answers to a great elephant mystery. Witnessing remarkable elephant behaviour, revealing previously unknown science about their travels, and discovering a secret elephant meeting place deep in the desert, Mike ultimately comes up with a plan to avert the oncoming disaster. 48 minutes, English
Elephants play a crucial role in the forests of central Africa. They are expert gardeners, spreading more seeds further than any other animal. Some are so big that only elephants can swallow them, and some only germinate if they have been through an elephant. So forests need elephants in order to stay healthy, productive and diverse. So many story choices. My interviewees - Valerie Kapos, Ian Redmond and Sanjayan -provided insightful comments and even more potential ways to tell the story. Ian’s interview was especially powerful, which helped me shape the film in a more emotional way. 4 minutes, English

Gambling on Extinction is a powerful documentary that takes you from the killing fields in Kenya and South Africa to the trading hubs of Vietnam and China with undercover investigators, rangers, ex-poachers, conservationists and buyers. Director Jakob Kneser exposes the lethal mechanisms of the global trade and the terrorist connection. He explains who the customers are, what generates demand, and what can be done to stop the slaughter. This is a story about greed and a merciless battle over a limited resource: wild elephants and rhinos. It is in fact the dark side of globalization: Ivory and rhino horn have become lucrative commodities. It is now a 20 billion dollar a year business, the most lucrative after drugs and weapons and has been taken over by powerful, connected, heavily armed international syndicates. 52 minutes, English
Africa’s elephants are hurtling towards extinction to fuel the worldwide ivory trade. While conservationists howl and corrupt governments fail to address the ongoing slaughter, one brave family has been working for decades to stem the tide, one elephant at a time. Gardeners of Eden is a gripping, first-person experience inside the operations of Kenya’s David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. From the front lines of the crisis, we witness their heroic efforts to stop the poachers in the bush, rescue the orphans of slain elephants and raise them by hand, until one day, returning them to their home in the wild? 72 minutes, English
For generations, Laos was known as the Land of a Million Elephants. Today, there are around 600 elephants left in Laos. If the Laotian elephants become extinct, not only does it mean a loss of one of the largest mammals on earth but also the loss for Laotian history and culture. This documentary will explore how the Chinese market, deforestation, and tourism all play a role in the imminent extinction of elephants in Laos. 15 minutes, English

In 2010 a baby elephant named Sities was rescued and brought to the Trust’s Nairobi Nursery to begin her rehabilitation. Her remarkable story was followed by audiences worldwide who watched her progress from day one in the prequel “For the Love of Elepants. Now three years later we catch up with Sities, who has reached the age where she can be integrated into the wild elephant herds of Tsavo East National Park.

Every orphan of ivory poaching once had a family. This is their story. I Will Always Remember You shows how elephant families are being torn apart by ivory poaching, portraying the life-saving work of the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. Survivors like the orphan elephants in the film have the opportunity to not only live, but to go on and start their own families back in the wild.

This documentary is about the plight of captive Elephant in Kerala. The documentary is named Koochu vilangu ( Foot Shackle ). I took this as topic for my documentary as i am aware of horrible torture usually inflicted on capture Elephant. It has become quite common scene in Kerala for Elephants to ‘loose’ during festivities in the state. Regarding this condition i says “Elephant have the same emotions and thoughts as human beings. Earlier, Elephants were even prohibited from circus shows. They were also paraded during festivals here. Religions should not be an excuse for torturing these poor animals. Like us,they cannot hold any strike or protest for their rights. They just bear silently when ever they are tortured. 24 minutes, English

Deep inside Nepal’s Bardia National Park are said to live giant elephants weighing twice as much as the average adult Asian elephant and standing 2-3 feet or nearly a meter taller.

Niall is here to find out the truth about the existence of at least one Bardia giantknown as Bim Gaj - confirm his size and investigate his unusual mammoth-like appearance. In seeking this elusive Bardia giant, Niall works perilously close to herds of elephants, both on foot and in amongst the wild herds, while perched on a domestic elephant. 46 minutes, English

Ironically, every dead elephant with its ivory intact is a reason to celebrate. It means an elephant died of natural causes, and a soul was allowed to be celebrated and mourned by its herd. Awardwinning filmmakers Dereck and Beverly Joubert start with the remains of two elephants and through a series of key flashbacks, look at the lives they would have led, the dramas they may have seen, their great migrations for water with their families, and their encounters with predators. This film is an intimate look at elephants through the lens of perhaps the greatest storytellers of natural history. 56 minutes, English PRODUCTION CO THIRTEEN Productions LLC, Wildlife Films, WYNET, Dereck & Beverly Joubert CO-PRODUCTION CO Terra Mater Factual Studios PRODUCER Beverly Joubert, Dereck Joubert, Executive Producers: Fred Kaufman, Ivo Filatsch, Sabine Holzer Series Producer: Bill Murphy, Series Editor: Janet Hess DIRECTOR Dereck Joubert, Beverly Joubert CINEMATOGRAPHY Dereck Joubert, Additional Cinematography: Michael Yelseth SOUND Candice Odgers, Sound Production & Design, Beverly Joubert SOUND MIXERS Vaughan Phillips Foleys, Ron & Val Nell Re-Recording Mixer, Ed Campbell EDITOR Candice Odgers S.A.G.E.

Of Elephants & People: Community Conservation in the Gourma explores the unique relationship between the local Gourma communities and one of the last remaining desert elephant populations left in the world. The Mali Elephant Project (MEP) supplied its local brigade members with handheld cameras and asked them to document the project in the way they saw fit. The MEP empowers and trains local communities to sustainably manage natural resources for the benefit of both people and elephants. This program mobilizes all sectors of society - from youth, to elders, to the Malian government - to protect elephants and improve the livelihood of local communities. 8 minutes, English
Myanmar (Burma) is the last nation to use elephants with their handlers (Oozies) for logging. But, they may hold the secret for saving the Asian elephant from extinction. By taking only mature trees, rather than clear cutting with machines, the process has already preserved Burmese forests and the elephants are breeding well, although too many babies die young. The film follows a group of international scientists to find out why. This is a unique portrait of a beautiful country, where Oozies treat their elephants as family pets and elephants feature in every aspect of life and culture. 52 minutes, English

On Easter morning, a baby elephant is mysteriously abandoned by her herd in the wilds of Botswana’s Okavango Delta. Saved from certain death by a bizarre chain of events, she forces herself into a very unusual, captive elephant herd. This is Paseka’s story. We follow her first year in this spectacular African wilderness, learning daily what it means to be an elephant. What is instinctive? What is she taught by the elephants? What does she need to learn from the humans? How does her arrival change the herd dynamics? Her unique journey is our window into the elephant world. 48 minutes, English
The Ecoexist Project: The story is set in the Eastern Okavango Panhandle, where 15,000 people share space and resources with 15,000 elephants. The 19-minute feature includes voices and experiences of people who live every day with elephants and know firsthand the challenges of competing for space, food, and land with the world’s largest population of free-roaming elephants. The film was made voluntarily by film-maker Richard Hughes, and is a production of the Ecoexist Project, a collaborative effort of farmers, scientists, village leaders, policy makers, and business people, working together to find solutions to human-elephant conflict. 19 minutes, English

Pembe ya Ndovu (Tusk of the Elephant) travels through the heart of Africa on a journey to uncover the dangers elephants face from illegal hunting and the wider context of ever reducing biodiversity in the region. The film dramatically shows the high cost of the ivory trade: the slaughter of whole elephant families and the endangerment of an entire species. But it also features the courageous rangers and others who are seeking to protect African wildlife, including conservationist Laurel Chor, who goes undercover to expose an illegal wildlife market, and world famous scientist and campaigner Jane Goodall. 30 minutes, English
For the last ten years, Google and Save the Elephants have worked together to use technology to track elephants in near real-time.

Get to know these elephants and the people working to save them. 11 minutes, English
The film looks at the lives of African elephants. It follows the world’s largest land mammal from infancy to old age. It is a window on the daily lives of elephants in the wild. It is touching and sometimes surprising to see how complex and sophisticated these giants are. Elephants understand their predicament and do everything they can to survive in a hostile world. What should we be doing about the unfolding tragedy? There are just 500,000 Elephants left in Africa, the lowest number ever. This film reminds us why we should care about the survival of this extraordinary animal. 40 minutes, English

Our short film tells the story of governmental negligence that leads to the death of multiple Asian elephants each year because of electrocution. Low-lying hightension wires exist across the nation, and especially during natural calamities like flooding lead to the loss of human and animal lives. Through this compelling message, we aim to reach out to Indian civil society and The Indian Ministry of Power to raise these lines to the requisite 20 meters, to prevent elephant deaths. 3 minutes, English
Elephants have been killed for their ivory for many years, despite the fact that today more people know about this issue than ever before. The misconception that there’s nothing we can do, and the belief that it is someone else’s responsibility to do something about it, are key perpetrators of the problem. Today, ivory poaching persist to the point in which we could see the loss of this species within our own lifetime. We must first communicate the gravity of the situation, only then can we ban together to help end it. Spread the word, rally the herd. 2 minutes, English

Everyone loves a canine companion and this baby elephant is no exception! The tiny pachyderm, nicknamed Ellie, was in bad shape when he arrived at the Thula Thula Rhino Orphanage in South Africa after being rejected by his herd. His chances of survival were very slim. But, just when things looked particularly grim, staff at the orphanage introduced their tiny patient to Duma, a former service and sniffer dog. The duo instantly formed an unlikely interspecies bond. This is Ellie’s story, a tale of survival against all odds and the power of surprising animal friendships. 3 minutes, English

Illegal wildlife trade has exploded to meet increasing demand for elephant ivory, rhino horns, and tiger products. Controlled by dangerous crime syndicates, wildlife is trafficked much like drugs or weapons. The second episode of WWF’s Stop Wildlife Crime series highlights the tens of thousands of elephants killed each year for the illegal ivory trade. Consumers often forget that ivory comes from a living animal that suffered enormously before dying--all for the sake of an elephant figurine, an ivory trinket, or a souvenir. It’s our responsibility to stand up for these gentle giants and put a stop to wildlife crime. 6 minutes, English PRODUCTION CO Creative Solutions, WWF-US PRODUCER Rachel Stump EDITOR Rachel Stump WRITER Deborah Ackerman OTHER CREDITS Photos: naturepl.com, Bruce Davidson (WWF-Canon), Meg Gawler (WWFCanon), James Morgan (WWF-Canon), Martin Harvey (WWF-Canon), Folke Wulf (WWF-Canon) naturepl.com, Peter Blackwell (WWF-Canon) naturepl.com, Andy Rouse (WWF-Canon) naturepl. com, Anup Shah (WWF-Canon), Bas Huijbregts (WWF-Canon), Christian Van Der Hoeven (WWF) naturepl.com, Tony Heald (WWF-Canon), Video: African Renaissance (WWF-INTL), Pond 5 (WWF-INTL), Elizabeth John (TRAFFIC WWF-US), Music: Audio Network http://www.worldwildlife.org/pages/ stop-wildlife-crime

Do rural African communities have enough say in how the wildlife resource is being utilized? Are formulas and rulebooks in the hands of faceless foreign bureaucrats holding Africa’s wildlife to ransom? Is ecoimperialism the real force behind the resolutions that are foisted upon Africa and her inhabitants? This film examines these questions and offers practical solutions to deal with the issues. 50 minutes, English

Elephants in the wild live together in family groups traversing massive expanses of land, keeping them physically and mentally healthy. Yet for decades young Asian and African elephants have been torn from their families and then transported thousands of miles to zoos and circuses in the West, where they are often kept alone for the rest of their lives. This film lays bare the shocking consequences for such elephants in Europe, condemned to solitary confinement; imprisoned, isolated and ignored. 14 minutes, English
The Eyes of Thailand is the inspirational story of Soraida Salwala’s quest to help two elephant landmine survivors-Motala and Baby Mosha-walk on their own four legs. Treating their wounds was only part of the journey; building elephant-sized prostheses was another. Narrated by Ashley Judd, the 10-time award-winning film shows how far one woman will go to save Asian elephants from threats above and below the surface. 63 minutes, English/Thai (with English subtitles)
How do you move three enormous elephants 4000 kilometres? Very, very carefully and bring lots of hay.... When the fifth estate joined the convoy taking three Canadian elephants overland to the PAWS sanctuary in California it was bound to be an incredible journey filled with tension, drama and unpredictability. The good news for former Toronto Zoo elephants Toka, Thika, and Iringa, is that the long battle over their welfare appears to have a very happy ending. 44 minutes, English

Tsavo, located in Kenya, is the kingdom of giants, a paradise where elephants are protected. This national park is home to the largest population of elephants in the country, yet new dangers threaten them. Illegal poaching is again thriving. Olivia Mokiejewski joins the team of medical aides at the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust and KWS (Kenya Wildlife Service) rangers. Their mission: to protect the wild herds against poachers while reintroducing orphan elephants back into the wild. A deeply-moving adventure that helps us grasp the stakes and the urgency of saving Africa’s last elephants. 56 minutes, English
We wanted to bring a visual biography of the few remaining Thai Elephants to as many people as possible. Unfortunately elephants in Thailand are being forced to walk the streets of Bangkok and beg for handouts. They give rides to tourists who do not understand the lives these elephants live, and worst of all they are forced to paint paintings that are sold to unsuspecting customers all over the world. Our film exposes all these abuses and also introduces the audience to people who are trying to save Thailand’s few remaining elephants. 40 minutes, English

Filmed in Tsavo East National Park, Kenya; home to Africa’s last great tuskers, the documentary paints a vivid picture about how greed for money has threatened the existence of elephants. It discovers how conservationists are trying to turn things around for these gentle giants; saving them from extinction. Once roaming freely, Elephants have now been confined into small pockets across Africa.The film investigates the ivory trade, from the 1800s Zanzibar trade, then trophy hunting and currently poaching; comparing prices throughout these periods, and the relation between price and the illegal trade, and how markets and poverty encourage the ivory trade. 52 minutes, English

Elephant experts Iain and Saba DouglasHamilton have to fit a radio collar to a three ton female elephant. A bull elephant is found dead, and poaching is suspected. A young calf becomes injured and can’t keep up with his herd, but his mother sticks with him - will they make it? There’s tragedy when a matriarch dies - in unique footage, a herd of elephants visit her body, and appear to mourn her death. 60 minutes, English
Wildlife expert Saba DouglasHamilton and her family move to Samburu National Reserve in northern Kenya to run a safari camp for the first time. While Saba inspires her guests with her passion for elephants, husband Frank Pope takes over operations at Save the Elephants conservation charity. Frank and his team must make sure the elephants don’t stray into the ‘badlands’ where poachers roam. Every day brings a new adventure in their mission to keep Samburu’s elephants safe.

Asian Elephants have been trained and used for labour for centuries. With our vast knowledge about these creatures, we now recognize and understand the devastating effects that domestication places on elephants. But despite that knowledge, Asian Elephants face a new challenge in this century--it’s a labour force called ‘Ecotourism.’ 1 minute, English
A mission to fit tracking collars to the last elephants in Virunga National Park, Congo. In 1980 there were some 8,000 elephants in the park. Today, there are less than 400. STE launched a challenging expedition to track these survivors across both forest and savannah, to help rangers better protect them. 6 minutes, English
This is the story of Tyke the circus elephant who went on a rampage in Honolulu in 1994, killed her trainer in front of thousands of horrified spectators and died in a hail of gunfire. Her break for freedom left a city in shock and sparked a global battle over our use of wild performing animals. Going back to find out what made Tyke snap, we meet her former trainers and handlers, witnesses to her rampage, circus industry insiders and animal rights activists for whom Tyke became a rallying cry. Combining outrage, trauma, insight and compassion, this gripping documentary explores our deep and mysterious connection to other species. 78 minutes, English

100 years ago, 60,000 elephants roamed free in Uganda. There was enough space for all, and mutual respect kept the peace. But, a combination of population growth, a surge in poaching, and political instability triggered a devastating decline in numbers, and threatened their existence. Only a few hundred young elephants remained. Created as an educational tool by The Uganda Conservation Foundation, this film gives a detailed account of the history of Uganda’s elephants and what the present situation is. A vital species for the future of Uganda’s National Parks, can understanding their history help us better protect them today? 7 minutes, English
Li Bingbing’s call to action for WWD 2014: “In 2013, I visited Kenya to witness the wonder of wild elephant herds and the horrific impacts of poaching on both the animals and people that live amongst them.

Today, I launch my mini-documentary, On Elephants and Ivory Poaching shot in Kenya during my exposure trip hosted by UNEP and Save the Elephants. Please join me in celebrating the inaugural World Wildlife Day and making sure that together we end the illegal wildlife trade.” 3 minutes, English & Mandarin

Zoölogist Steve took wildlife reporter Pat Verbraecken to Hwange national park in the North-West of Zimbabwe. The park covers almost 15.000 square kilometres and is located just south of the mighty Victoria falls on the Zambezi river. Although it’s close to one of Africa’s main rivers the area is extremely arid. Yet Hwange national park has one of Africa’s largest populations of elephants, more than 50.000 of them. Steve has developed a special bond with these fantastic animals. They’re not only the biggest living land mammals, but they’re also extremely intelligent. On top of that they’re very important for the survival of other wildlife and for the ecological balance in general. 49 minutes, English
A 16-year-long civil war that began in 1977 ravaged Mozambique’s Gorongosa National Park, wiping out nearly 95 percent of the elephant population. Today, peace has been restored, but the surviving elephants still carry the emotional scars of war and must relearn how to trust humans. Follow a brotherand-sister team, Bob Poole and Dr. Joyce Poole, on a mission to help the traumatized elephants heal and to restore peace to a once-againthriving wildlife sanctuary. 45 minute, English
Nearly everywhere elephants roam, human populations are now competing for the same space to make their living. In the Masaai Mara region of southwest Kenya, human/ elephant conflict is rapidly becoming one of the leading causes of death for elephants. People are also on the receiving end of injury and death. What can be done? While government works to create zoning laws for development in elephant rangelands, many work to educate youth and find stopgaps to ease the conflict in heavily populated areas. War of Space explores human/elephant conflict in the Mara and shows how one group utilizes creative ways to mitigate the problem until more permanent solutions are found. 5 minutes, English

Having elephants carry tourists at Amber Fort in Jaipur is big business. Day and night, an ayurvedic doctor with his master struggle for the elephants health, guided by an ancient elephant book from maharaja times. Amongst many sick elephants, Sita`s situation becomes grievous, while her mahout gets married and her owner is buying new elephants. This is 1st case of mercy killing of an elephant in India... A passionate first take documentary with an insight view of a deeply devoted Hanuman and Ganesh culture. 99 minutes, English
White Gold is a front-line expose of the modern day ivory trade - its effect on African countries and wider regional stability, its potential to fund terrorism and its global reach. Produced by professionals from the conservation, filmmaking and security fields, the film illustrates the awe-inspiring complexity, beauty and emotional intelligence of the elephant, Africa’s most majestic and iconic wild animal. It documents how, as the demand for ivory escalates, the stakes rise for elephants, people and peace. And, amid growing speculation from analysts around the world that ivory is likely to have partially funded terrorist attacks in Kenya, the film poses the question: is this luxury commodity really so desirable, considering the ugly reality of terrorism and looming species extinction? 38 minutes, English
Wild is a short film about the life of elephants behind the ivory trade and poaching crisis in Kenya. What is happening to these keepers of the earth? What happens to the earth when there are no more keepers, and what is being done to protect the lives of these magical sentient beings?

Closed off to the world for over fifty years, Burma is rumored to be home to a treasure trove of wildlife. Now, for the first time, a team of scientists and filmmakers has been allowed exclusive access to explore this uncharted wilderness. Their mission: to find out whether Burma’s vast, pristine forests could be the last stronghold for iconic species largely lost to the rest of the world. In Wild Burma: Elusive Elephants, they track down one of Earth’s most-endangered mammals: Asian elephants. If they have any hope of saving these gentle giants, they must prove they’re still around. 46 minutes, English
Former NBA star Yao Ming comes to an elephant’s defense in this beautifully filmed PSA, which acts as a powerful metaphor in the conservation effort to save this iconic creature. 1 minute, English

Even without means and opportunity to visit Africa one boy from American suburbia decides to make a difference. During making of this short clip we talked to a lot of people who instantly fell in love with elephants. You too can make a difference any little step helps.

Between the Sahara and the lush forests in the center of the continent, there is an intermediate band, made of open savannahs, thorny scrub, gallery forest and rocky outcrops. In this region, for six months in the year, not a drop of water falls, and animals persist in seeking the latest ponds. The other half of the year, this desert area becomes a swamp and all animals are in a landscape flooded by torrential rains. Few nature places are unspoiled in this region. But there is a real jewel in the heart of the Sahel: Zakouma National Park! 26 minutes, English
