Science 52'

Mammoth Hunters

Ever since the international ban on elephant hunting, Russia has cornered the market in ivory. But this ivory comes from mammuths; whose skeletons are constantly being discovered in the frozen earth of Siberia.

Following an expedition to this remote area of the Arctic, Mammoth Hunters reveals the new business of "the white gold of the tundra". A market estimated at 2.5 million dollars and whose central point is Hong Kong.
