Black Market

This is a painful video to watch but it's obviously effected me today and motivated me to learn more about wildlife protection and conservation. It describes the black market trade of animal parts around Asia. [WARNING: Graphic images.]

"Globally, the wildlife trade is the third largest illegal trade. A driving force is the ancient belief that animal parts contain "magical" properties. Although science has largely disproved these superstitions, the trade continues."

Electroshock Therapy

I remember being very moved by this video when I watched it several months back. It's hard to explain depression to people and when you try, they often dismiss you, thinking you've just got the blues. However, hearing a doctor discuss, especially one who has gone through it himself, seems to give it more legitimacy. (Warning: Very brief profanity, NSFW)

"Surgeon and author Sherwin Nuland discusses the development of electroshock therapy as a cure for severe, life-threatening depression -- including his own. It’s a moving and heartfelt talk about relief, redemption and second chances."
