The Tropic Of Cancer
Simon Reeve circumnavigates the globe around the 22,835 mile long Tropic of Cancer, visiting 18 different countries, meeting amazing people, witnessing bizarre and beautiful sights, and encountering spectacular and endangered wildlife. Starting in Baja California - the long strip of Mexico that descends into the Pacific Ocean, Simon travels through Cuba, the Bahamas, Mauritania, the wastelands of Southern Libya, India, Bangladesh and Burma before finally reaching the some of the most beautiful (and also some of the dirtiest) beaches in the world. From gorgeous landscapes to deserts, small fishing villages to violent drug wars, Simon finds out what makes these places fascinatingly unique.

This is slavery ... it’s a living hell for this elephants...

[@Mel-pb4nn]

They need something like a gofund me to help pay to keep the pregnant mamas out of the jungle

[@Sneaky-Snek]

looks like they need to use a different harness... that was one hell of a wound

[@gg1000]

La solución está en respetar el hábitat natural de los elefantes. Así no necesitarían trabajar para divertir a los turistas.

[@lisaetinger2248]

Get your ass of that poor elephant. They were not put here to be slaves. I hope a tree falls on those people and kills them.

[@coola5151]

What did they do? At least they're bringing awareness to this topic.

[@coola5151]

@@Kais. i suppose they talked about it biased....give both sides to the topic but it was as if it was "ohk"

[@msc2265]

BBC does a lot to show how conditions really are with the animals and our planet. They also give us a glimpse of how beautiful our home is in ways we would otherwise never see.

Hello extinction my old friend.

Poor elephants, such amazing animals yet completely misunderstood. I can understand the low impact logging perspective and how it's better and more sustainable than industrial logging, but this is poor animal welfare.
