Inside the Tiger Trade

Tiger populations have declined 95 percent over the last 100 years making them one of the WWF's most threatened species in 2010: The Year of the Tiger.

Inside The Tiger Trade goes undercover with the Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) - an international charitable organisation dedicated to exposing international environmental crime.

This hard-hitting documentary is at the frontline of the battle, following people with extraordinary stories who try to protect our endangered species from illegal exploitation.With skins, organs and bones fetching tens of thousands of U.S. dollars on the black market, tigers have little defence against organised crime, corruption and poaching.

Eco Crime Investigators follows undercover agents from the EIA as they dive into the ruthless and murky world of environmental crime. They are armed only with undercover cameras and a resilient dedication to protect the natural environment.
