Rangers in the Virunga National Park in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo evacuate the bodies of four mountain gorillas found shot in the forest. The gorillas, a highly endangered species, live in an area beset with conflict. A number of militia groups appear to be operating in Virunga. It is not always clear who is attacking the gorillas, which are sometimes eaten as bush-meat, or else simply executed. At least nine were killed during 2007.

The head of a male narwhal stands on the ice, waiting for hunters to remove its tusk. Tusks of the narwhal whale were once sold as unicorn horns, and were immensely valuable. Today, narwhal ivory can still fetch large sums, and the whales are legally hunted by some Inuit groups. Hunters shoot the whales for their ivory, skin and blubber, but much of the meat goes to waste.
