This month, American actress Kristin Bauer van Straten best known for her role as vampire Pam in the HBO series True Blood will be travelling to Kenya’s Maasai Mara to shoot a documentary.

Kristin posted on her KickStarter.com profile that shooting the “documentary about the people, the land, and the horrific elephant ivory and Rhino horn poaching” will only be possible if she raises $30,000 to fund it.

She said, “This is a huge undertaking in every respect to take a camera crew all over Kenya to meet with the people of Kenya, the impressive experts and groups that are making such a difference, like the orphange for elephant and rhino babies in Nairobi. “We’ll interview experts in Amboseli, who are creating a network of over 100,000 people from many government agencies, working together to police the illegal trade in the parks, at the seaports and airports.” Her fundraising campaign will end on August 29.
