第六集: 野生动物要回家

野生动物要回家

越南是东南亚物种最丰富的国家，但是野生动物及其制成品的走私活动也非常猖獗。大量野兽被捕猎，其中黑熊，穿山甲，猿猴和蛇类等，更是濒临绝种。对于这些看起来一点也不讨喜，完全不温柔的野兽，有些人只看到它们的滋补功效，却也有些人愿意奉献出自己的时间和精力保护它们。这些斗士成立非营利机构 "野生动植物保护组织" ，致力于保护野生动物，维系越南甚至整个地球的多元生态环境。

白薇秀随着这些斗士进入森林，视察越南丰富的多元生态环境；也走上胡志民市，看这些斗士如何突击非法饲养、捕杀、贩卖动物的农场和餐馆，以拯救濒临绝种的野生动物。白薇秀以新的角度重新思索保护生物所涉及的种种课题。

Vietnamese Wildlife Crusaders

Blessed with the richest diversity of biological species in Southeast Asia, Vietnam is also plagued by rampant smuggling of wildlife and wildlife products. Numerous wild animals are being hunted, among which black bears, pangolins, primates and snakes are brought to the brink of extinction. Neither cute nor gentle, these creatures are seen only as tonics to some, but there are also those who are willing to spend time and energy to protect them. They have formed Wildlife at Risk (WAR), a NGO devoted to protecting wildlife and upholding biodiversity in Vietnam and the world in general.

Joanne Peh follows these crusaders into the jungle to observe Vietnam’s amazing biological opulence. She also takes to the streets of Ho Chi Minh City, where she witnesses how they raid farms and restaurants involved in the illegal keeping, catching, killing and trading of animals in an effort to rescue endangered wildlife. Fresh outlooks on conservation issues unfold in the process.
