Gambling on Extinction (2015)

6 | Mar 01, 2015 (US) | Documentary | 00:52

A look at the use and proliferation of illegal wildlife products throughout the world.

Today, only 3,200 tigers roam in the wild. At the current rate of poaching, elephants, rhinos and tigers living in the wild will be extinct in our lifetime. Who are the global players in this deadly game of power, greed and profit? Who pulls the strings and who are the customers? And why have ivory and rhino horn become perfect investment opportunities?
