With animal trafficking cases have risen in recent years, the damage this is causing to already endangered species is frightening.

To bring us the harsh truth behind illegal trafficking, reporter Ade Adepitan and director Will West travel to the remote city of Iquitos, in Peru, where they use undercover filming to reveal the shocking scale and the strange nature of backstreet dealers.
