In the Taplejung District of Nepal, Kanchenjunga is the third highest mountain in the world behind Mt. Everest and K2. Translated it means, "the five treasures of snows" because it contains five peaks - four of which stand above 27,000 feet - the highest standing at 28,169 feet. Climbers face below freezing temperatures and impossible conditions that can bring even the most experienced to their knees... if not to their deaths. The Sikkimese people hold the summit sacred and to this day, summit parties will stop short in honor of this tradition. Get ready to experience one of the most spectacular expeditions any extreme explorer can make.

The social problems that affect urban and rural populations alike are not limited to developing countries. Illiteracy, elevated school drop-out rates, delinquency, unemployment and poverty are issues that face countries around the world, both in the East and the West. The youth of any society represent its future. Unfortunately, a large number do not have access to the necessary tools to help them reach their full potential. Some fall into delinquency or live in poverty; others do not have access to adequate education. By focusing on our young people, some architects of change are working to ensure a better future.

Tourism may well be an indispensable industry for a large number of countries world-wide, but it also brings its share of disadvantages. It is often a significant source of pollution, be it from transport for visitors, the construction of vacation resorts, recreational activities or simply from the rising quantity of waste materials. Tourism can also harm ecosystems by disturbing animal and plant species, or create a cycle of dependence amongst impoverished populations. Luckily, it is possible to tackle tourism responsibly and in harmony with people and the environment: tourism which benefits visitors and their hosts alike.

Decades of rural flight have resulted in a rise in city dwellers. This situation increases urban poverty and contributes to the creation of ghettos and shantytowns. Consequently, a large number of people around the world live in a state of extreme poverty. In towns it is increasingly common to see children who beg on streets filled with indifferent, unseeing passers-by. Faced with the anguish of the most destitute, is it not time to ask ourselves if we have lost all feelings of solidarity and have become completely insensitive towards the suffering of others.

Stacey Dooley is known for tackling tough subject matter in her popular investigative documentaries. In this daring new series, the fearless reporter steps away from her usual investigative role to immerse herself fully in some of the world’s most controversial training camps, campaigns and youth movements to get right to the heart of their extreme ideologies and beliefs. Stacey signs up to live, breathe and train 24/7 under the watchful eyes of experts and leaders in the intense ideological worlds. These include the big game hunting community and pro-life youth training camps. Are the issues as clear cut as she’d previously imagined?

Almost everyone agrees that conservation is hugely important, but few dare to question the movement. In Conservation's Dirty Secrets, reporter and presenter Oliver Steeds investigates the shortcomings of the planet's major conservation charities. Traveling from Britain to Kenya, from Honduras to the States, he challenges those who often appear beyond reproach because what they do is 'good', to take a long, hard look at their policies, practices and partnerships. Conservation's Dirty Secrets asks why some are working with polluting big businesses, and alienating the very people they would need to help them stem the loss of species. Despite the billions being spent each year, Steeds finds that the movement has got its priorities wrong at the moment when the very flora and fauna it seeks to save are facing oblivion.
