From America Abroad: "Poaching and Terrorism: The Race to Protect Wildlife and National Security." A documentary about the illegal killing of large animals in Africa. Poaching rates are up dramatically and elephants and rhinos are on the verge of extinction. Wildlife trafficking is a national security issue, too, because billions of dollars are making their way to terror groups and organized crime.
