Dans le Pacifique Nord, de Hawaï aux Kouriles, flotte un océan de déchets : microplastiques et filets de pêche dérivent sans fin. Minuscules, ces particules se font passer pour du plancton et contaminent toute la vie marine. Du phytoplancton aux poissons, puis aux prédateurs, le plastique remonte jusqu’à nos assiettes. L’homme, dernier maillon, en est à la fois la cause et la victime, piégé par sa propre pollution.

En Afrique du Sud, plus de 300 fermes transforment des lions en cibles pour la "canned Hunting", une chasse légale où ces animaux n’ont aucune chance. Certains sont drogués, puis abattus à bout portant, garantissant un tir réussi à 100 %. Ce commerce, moins coûteux qu’une chasse traditionnelle, réduit des créatures majestueuses à de simples trophées. Confinés, drogués, tués : les lions n’ont aucun espoir.
