Slavery Today


Slavery continues in different forms in almost every country in the world. People have different ideas on what is considered slavery. for example workers in low-wage jobs or inhumane working conditions. However modern-day slaves differ from these workers because they are forced to work under the threat of extreme violence.
A BBC program called Slavery Today explores some of the places where slavery is still common and takes a look at the fastest growing problem in modern slavery: trafficking people into the West.

Zoo poo used to grow fruit & veg

Twycross Zoo has about 1,000 animals, which produce about 800 tonnes of poo every year - that's about the same weight as 160 elephants!

But now, instead of sending the muck to landfill, they've got a machine which can turn the poo into compost.

The compost's used on crops to feed the animals, then the cycle starts again!
