Wildlife Conservationists, advocates and international celebrities including Yao Ming, Kathryn Bigelow, Maggie Q, Dylan McDermott and Bo Derek gathered at The Ritz Carlton, San Francisco to support nonprofit WildAid and their innovative work to reduce consumer demand for wildlife products.
The gala event took place only days prior to the broadcast of Wild Aid’s new documentary “Saving Africa’s Giants with Yao Ming” on Animal Planet.
The program follows Wild Aid ambassador and former NBA player Yao Ming on a journey to Africa to see its natural beauty and witness the devastating elephant and rhino poaching crisis.
