Blood Ivory Multimedia

September 14, 2012 Bryan Christy

Here’s a quick guide to some of National Geographic’s coverage of Blood Ivory:  Ivory Worship introduced by Editor in Chief, Chris Johns.

Here’s an interview of me running alongside the article (it’s not bloody):

Here are Brent Stirton’s extraordinary photographs for this story.

Here’s a Q&A about the Behind the Scenes of the investigation with my editor at National Geographic, Oliver Payne.

Here’s a podcast of an interview Oliver Payne and I did together:  Behind the Words:  Ivory Worship

The graphics for Blood Ivory result from weeks of work by an NG graphics team  presented in a way you can understand in a blink.

One of the great things about this project has been the complete support of every aspect of the National Geographic Society.  If you would like to give your support to issues raised in the story, NG offers these suggestions, which list some of the very best in the world in the effort to stop wildlife crime in ways that are sensitive to the human condition.
