There's so much beauty in Africa, but it's not endless.

I think we all have a piece of wild in us that we want to protect. It was a very organic choice for me to support this organization [African Wildlife Foundation].

If you have appreciation for life, whether it is a planet or any wild species, if it's a human or an elephant, death is really bad for all of us to adjust to. We are all going to die. When it happens in such a drastic, inhuman way, which we've been seeing in Africa, this is crime on its highest level.

I think there is a scientific approach to it and there is a political approach to it and an economical approach to it. All of this combined, we might find a solution.

Many of the local institutions and politicians and veterinarians are involved in illegal trade. To crack that down, it's a big crime and big names to reveal.

In terms of security for wildlife and our society, it's an incredibly alarming situation, and we need to address that.

My grandmother said it very simply: If you don't like dogs, you don't like humans, and vice versa. I really believe that.

There's so much beauty in Africa, but it's not endless. We have to prevent these crimes and these awful, awful killings. I just hope people pay attention to it.
