寂静的森林》是一幅亲密的、以人物为导向的肖像画，描绘了在非洲刚果盆地地区为阻止森林大象偷猎而竭尽全力的自然保护主义者和活动家。一项研究显示，在过去十年中，超过一半的中非森林大象种群因偷猎而消失，此后，各方共同努力拯救那些留下来的大象。《寂静森林》将通过一系列充满活力的主题来探索这个故事；包括喀麦隆首批女性生态卫士之一、一个基层野生动物执法组织、一名研究大象行为的刚果生物学家、一名经过改造的大象偷猎者，以及一支由捷克环保主义者领导的反偷猎嗅探犬队。尽管这些环保主义者热情而顽强，但他们面临着巨大的制度挑战，如腐败和缺乏资金，这些挑战可能会破坏他们为森林大象的未来而战的所有努力。（百度翻译）
SILENT FORESTS is an intimate, character-driven portrait of conservationists and activists who are fighting against all odds to stop forest elephant poaching in Africa's Congo Basin region. After a study revealed that more than half the central African forest elephant population has been lost to poaching in the last decade, there has been a concerted effort to save those that remain. SILENT FORESTS will explore this story through a range of dynamic subjects; including one of Cameroon's first female eco-guards, a grassroots wildlife law enforcement group, a Congolese biologist studying elephant behavior, a reformed elephant poacher, and a team of anti-poaching sniffer dogs led by a Czech conservationist. As passionate and tenacious as these conservationists are, they are up against huge institutional challenges like corruption and lack of funding that threaten to derail all their attempts to fight for the future of the forest elephant.
