Behind the Issue: Tigers

We are fortunate to have an amazing amount of wildlife on this planet. But illegal trading and poaching have dramatically reduced the survival of these magnificent creatures. Enter the Operatives.

When famed eco-warrior Pete Bethune (Whale Wars) witnessed these atrocities, he took a stand and began assembling a group of highly trained, skilled, and motivated military elite with one mission: to expose suspected criminals who are endangering our wildlife and our environment. The Operatives are now embarking on bolder and more dangerous missions in Asia, with a brand-new team tackling numerous threats to wildlife.

In this behind-the-scenes clip, Bethune drops some knowledge about the threats facing tigers.
