The Operatives

Conservationist Pete Bethune and his team are on a mission to expose harm being done to the planet. Bethune and his fellow adventurers travel the world in search of those people who are negatively affecting wildlife, natural resources and other ecosystems. In one of their first missions, they sneak into a guarded diamond mine in Namibia to capture footage of a seal-clubbing operation there that kills 90,000 of the seal pups annually. Other actions track illegal gold mining and target turtle poaching.
