Episode 2
In the second episode of a two-part series, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall explores whether lessons can be learned for the elephant from the disturbing world of rhino poaching.
Two-part documentary series in which Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall explores what can be done to stop the killing of African elephants for their ivory.
In this second and final programme of the series, Hugh explores whether lessons can be learned for the elephant from the disturbing world of rhino poaching. Rhino horn is sold in Asia on the black market for $30,000 to $60,000 per kilo, making it more valuable than gold and platinum. From the killing fields in Kruger Park, South Africa, Hugh goes undercover to investigate the dark and dangerous world of rhino horn dealers in Vietnam. Hugh considers the argument that legalising the trade in rhino horn and elephant ivory would ultimately buy their survival.
Applying the lesson he learns from the rhino crisis, Hugh brings fresh energy to his fight to persuade the British government to address the problem of the UK's own legal ivory trade. He is determined to get answers from the minister responsible and take the fight right to the top.
