  From Trip: "My expedition will take me back to the Democratic Republic of Congo to collect elephant DNA for pioneering conservation biologist Sam Wasser. The DNA will be used to pinpoint poaching hotspots so that anti-poaching resources can be directed where they are most needed. Did you know that the elephant poaching rate and price of ivory are at record levels? Did you know that in just two decades the only surviving elephants could be those behind fences with armed guards? I need your vote to help protect these special animals."
