National Geographic Explorers Andy Maser and Trip Jennings of EP Films are embarking in January on a forensic biology expedition to the remote jungle of the Democratic Republic of Congo to help the Center for Conservation Biology complete their elephant DNA map of Africa. The goal: send resources to poaching hot spots and save wild elephants from the illegal ivory trade and capture provocative media to bring this important issue home.
