Our Wild World

Conservationist, filmmaker, adventure tour guide, and geologist, Philip Price is impassioned to save Asian Elephants by bringing attention to what is happening to both the elephants and the people of Sri Lanka. As people fled in exile during the 30 year civil war, much of the island’s northern territory was abandoned, benefitting the islands elephants who moved into the open new open range. Post-war, as people return to claim their ancestral lands, human-elephant conflict has escalated. In 1998 Philip was production assistant for the film, “Elephants of Paradise,” a project that funded and documented the capture and relocation of Sri Lanka’s elephants. As it turned out, relocating only served to intensify the problems. Now, through interactive filming and unique adventure tours, Philip is documenting this journey, providing impetus and greater awareness to save the Asian Elephants from extinction, one of the greatest ecological challenges of our time. brbr Journey to Saving Ganesh https://www.youtube.com/wat
