Great Plains Conservation’s Dereck and Beverly Joubert to appear
on The Ellen DeGeneres Show this Monday, February 1

This Monday, February 1, Great Plains Conservation’s founders and filmmakers, Dereck & Beverly Joubert will be appearing as guests on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, where they will be discussing their latest film, Soul of the Elephant, filmed at Great Plains Conservation’s properties in Botswana and Kenya.

An insight of what might be discussed with Ellen comes from a panel discussion the Jouberts took part in at the recent Sundance Film Festival, where after being introduced by Robert Redford, they described how films, like Soul of the Elephant, can be instruments for change:

“With this platform, we can have real and important conversations,” they said of the power of the visual medium, calling their films “campaigns without pause.”

The couple have now turned to focus on elephants and rhinos to better raise awareness about poaching, ivory, and horns, aiming to eliminate demand entirely. If you “deliver a message with dignity, you can get there,” they said… noting that young people specifically do not desire to be part of the problem, but rather the solution. Currently at a tipping point in history, the Jouberts assert that “things can go very bad OR we can change things.” Source: fusion.net
