CNN examines the worldwide conflicts between growing populations and natural resources in two hours of reports. Anderson Cooper and Sanjay Gupta go deep into Central African forests to see how hunters may be subjected to virus infections that could potentially spread around the world. Lisa Ling goes to Nigeria to confront a militant group fighting to spread the wealth of the country's oil reserves. Gupta visits a small town in Peru that suffers toxic living conditions because of a major, American-owned smelting plant. Ling investigates the bloody industry of shark finning driven by the demand for shark fin soup. Cooper reports on the state of the Great White Shark and goes swimming with one off the coast of South Africa. Ling travels to a Chad national park to witness the grandeur of the African elephant, but also its demise at the hands of ivory poachers. Finally, Cooper visits a wildlife success story, a mountain gorilla reservation in Rwanda.
