UGANDA, HUNTERS IN THE JUNGLE

 1 x 60'

 

 

The Uganda Wildlife Authority hosts well-controlled groups of travellers who trek for the worlds last remaining Mountain Gorillas in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest.  There are now only 650 of these giant primates left on Earth. Using concealed cameras we go undercover to expose what’s become known as the bush meat trade. See shocking video of how chimps, apes, and a host of other wildlife are slaughtered, to both feed the local population and provide commercial sales for profit.

Meet world-renown experts Like Dr. Richard Leakey, NGO specialists, and others who shed light on the rainforest destruction of the ape habitat. Witness logging trucks deliver the mangled carcasses of the endangered primates to the city’s meat markets. We’ll go well behind the scenes to see first hand how this rarely seen environmental crisis will mean the end of the world’s monkey and Great Ape species. We’ll tramp for hours tracking wild chimpanzees, catch a gang of ruthless poachers hunting wild hippo, and marvel at the spectacular African scenery, the great stories, and the wildlife action.
