Gambling on Extinction (2015, 52 min, documentary), directed by Jakob Kneser, depicts illegal wildlife trade in Africa and Asia. A war against science and nature is being waged. Populations of elephants, rhinos and other animals are declining at rates that will wipe them out very soon. Humans who value ivory and horns are driving this cruel extinction. This movie is for all but the totally heartless.

A brief introduction precedes the movie. After the movie, we are honored to present Lori L. DuVall-Jackson, elephant awareness ambassador, a world traveling conservation advocate, and an inspiration to her students for a presentation and discussion.

This film is presented by University Libraries with co-sponsorship from UB’s Professional Staff Sustainable Living Committee, UB’s Sustainability office and the University Libraries Professional Executive Committee.
