Dot Earth Blog: Jackie Chan Presses Case for Rhino Conservation

Jackie Chan, a global star for his mashups of Charlie Chaplin and Bruce Lee, is working with the conservation group WildAid to raise awareness of the environmental cost of high demand for rhinoceros horn in China and Vietnam (where rhino horn has become something of a club drug).

These photos show Chan on a sound stage in California with a captive rhinoceros, Spike, making a video that will be posted online next week.

For more background on this illegal trade, read this piece be Jeffrey Gettleman: ?Coveting Horns, Ruthless Smugglers? Rings Put Rhinos in the Cross Hairs.?
