Richard Leakey - Chairman of the Kenya Wildlife Service

Richard Leakey, the Chairman of the Kenya Wildlife Service is fighting to keep elephants, rhinos and big cats from disappearing from Africa. Will there be a happy ending?

Stephen Sackur talks to Richard Leakey, the Chairman of the Kenya Wildlife Service. Africa's wildlife is one of the wonders of the natural world, but the fate of the continent's elephants, rhinos and big cats is now desperately uncertain - illegal poaching could see these great species disappear from their African heartlands. Will the fight for Africa's endangered wildlife have a happy ending?
