Abstract
Wildlife activists go undercover to expose ways in which the illegal wildlife trade and the oil and gas industries are contributing to the extinction of increasing numbers of species. , "Academy Award winning filmmakers expose the forces that are leading our planet to its next mass extinction, potentially resulting in the loss of half of all species. A never-before-seen view of an international wildlife trade, operating in the shadows, reveals how creatures that have survived for millions of years may be wiped from Earth in our lifetime. Hidden in plain sight, the other great force is one of the oil and gas companies don't want the world to recognize. Using convert tactics and state-of-the-art technology. Racing extinction exposes these two forces in an inspiring affirmation to preserve life as we know it."--Container.
