NEW FILMS ON ECO-DETECTIVES PREMIERE IN USA
Get on the front line with the Environmental Investigation Agency 
LONDON: Three gripping new documentaries following the work of undercover 
investigators from the London-based Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) will 
premiere in the USA on Tuesday, September 6, 2011.
Launched as a three-part special under Nat Geo Wild’s Crimes Against Nature strand, 
the programmes have been a year in the making and will take viewers into the 
murky and high-stakes underbelly of global environmental crime, from Scandinavia 
and Africa to Southeast Asia and China.
The full line-up for US viewers on September 6 is:
• Crimes Against Nature: Blood Ivory
8pm ET/PT (Eastern Time/Pacific Time) 
The EIA team heads to Kenya, Hong Kong and China to investigate the world of 
elephant poaching and the international ivory trade. Following claims of an upsurge 
in poaching and ivory smuggling, EIA wants to establish firsthand what’s really going 
on. Visiting Kenya's national parks, it documents the horrific reality of elephant 
poaching, and in China its undercover investigations discover startling revelations 
about how the ivory smuggling underworld works.

• Crimes Against Nature: Making a Killing
9pm ET/PT  
Only a handful of countries continue to practice industrial whaling; Iceland is one of 
them, pursuing endangered fin whales in order to turn a profit. But rumours have 
persisted that there is a lack of demand for this whale meat in both Iceland and 
Japan, its main export market. With this in mind, EIA investigators pack their 
undercover cameras and attempt to locate and understand the driving force behind 
this trade.

• Crimes Against Nature: Chainsaw Massacre
10pm ET/PT  
EIA’s undercover agents head to Laos and Vietnam for a new investigation into the 
notoriously dangerous timber trade. Vietnam is fast becoming a major global player 
in the timber industry, but with little forest left of its own it is largely dependent on 
importing timber from other countries. EIA suspects a lot of this timber is being 
taken illegally from Southeast Asia’s rapidly declining tropical rainforests and will stop at nothing to expose this devastating environmental crime which has the 
potential to affect us all.

“With powerful and haunting images, criminals caught in the act by hidden filming 
and courageous investigators operating on the dangerous front lines of 
environmental crime, these films will dramatically show viewers just how much a 
small but tightly focused and endlessly dedicated organisation can achieve,” said EIA 
Executive Director Mary Rice.
The three Crimes Against Nature programmes are due to be broadcast on Nat Geo 
Wild in other territories, including the UK, later this year – watch http://www.eiainternational.org/cgi/news/news.cgi?t=template&a=658&source=
