Il existe plus de 300 fermes en Afrique du Sud où les lions sont gardés dans des cages pour l'industrie de la chasse. Cette activité, qui est légale, est appelée "canned hunting" (chasse en conserve). Le soi-disant "chasseur" achète son lion, qui est placé dans un enclos clôturé sans possibilité de s'échapper. Le chasseur tire sur le lion à bout portant. Parfois, le lion est drogué pour le rendre plus docile. Une "chasse en boîte" coûte beaucoup moins cher qu'une chasse traditionnelle et garantit au "chasseur" un taux de réussite de 100 % !

Au bord du gouffre : La sixième grande extinction (On the brink: The sixth great extinction)

Cinq extinctions massives, toutes causées par des cataclysmes naturels, ont eu lieu au cours des quatre milliards et demi d'années d'histoire de la Terre. Nous assistons actuellement à une sixième extinction, celle-ci étant due à l'impact d'une seule espèce dominante : l'homme. Les animaux et les plantes présentés ici ne sont qu'un échantillon des milliers d'espèces disparues, menacées ou, dans certains cas, sauvées de l'oubli grâce à des efforts de conservation urgents.
