   ['slideshow/images2/Gray-from-pollution.jpg', 'The Color of Pollution', 'I was warned, \"Roll up the windows! Don\'t get out of the car.\" We are driving through an enormous asbestos mining facility. The sun is hidden behind a sea of grey debris. Asbestos is used in thousands of products in China - to fireproof ceilings, tiles and beams as well as to insulate pipes, broilers and walls. The rest is exported for international use. I had never seen anything like this mine before. The environment and every living thing in it were completely annihilated.', '1', '13'],
   ['slideshow/images2/Factory.jpg', 'A World of Factories', 'This is the entrance to one of many refineries, where the fibrous material, known as chrysotile asbestos, is extracted from local rock. This process leaves huge open pits in its wake. The gate keeps people out, although I can\'t imagine why anyone would want to go in. Workers live their whole lives on site, and only one person I saw was wearing a paper mask. The rest breathe in these toxic clouds day in and day out. It is widely know in the United States that breathing in asbestos fibers can cause asbestosis and cancer, but workers here are ignorant of the dangers. We filmed this mine just outside the southern entrance to Arjin Mountain National Park.', '2', '0'],
   ['slideshow/images2/Big-Dam.jpg', 'Dam Construction', 'Traveling through Yunnan Province, we passed the Manwan Dam. It\'s one of 86,000 dams in China.', '3', '1'],  
   ['slideshow/images2/Hui-women-selling-pigeons.jpg', 'Pigeon Roast', 'Pigeon is a delicacy in China, served roasted in salty spices. We took photos of these Uighur women in the small town of Yecheng selling pigeons to eat. The woman on the right is force-feeding the pigeon in her hand to fatten it up.', '4', '2'],
   ['slideshow/images2/Hui-boys.jpg', 'Uighur Boys', 'I filmed these brothers about to wash their hands in a stream that flows through their village. The boy on the left is all lathered up and ready to dip his hands into some dubious-looking water.', '5', '3'],
   ['slideshow/images2/Gobi-mountains.jpg', 'The Gobi Desert', 'The name stirs romantic images of sand dunes, hidden oases and nomads trekking across the horizon on camels. The reality was quite tedious. This is what we saw out the window for four straight days. There are no gas stations here. We had a scare when we ran out of gas mid-journey. We carry 10 metal drums of emergency gas on the roof of the Land Rover for remote terrain like this. I had never seen our driver look so terrified as the moment he checked the drums and found many were empty. Someone had siphoned our gas when we stopped for lunch. Luckily the 10th container had enough fuel to get us to a small village where they sold us some gas. Otherwise we\'d still be out there...', '6', '4'],
   ['slideshow/images2/Old-Uygur-man.jpg', 'Can You Take My Picture?', 'This elder Uighur man at Washixia village in Arjin wanted his picture taken. He grabbed his walking cane and posed in front of a restaurant serving mutton on a stick with baked naan. There is little here to remind you that you are still in China.', '7', '5'],
   ['slideshow/images2/Village-at-Arjin-MT.jpg', 'The Village at Arjin', 'My helper, Tusun Sawuti, and his family live here in total isolation for most of the year, leaving only once for a short trip to get supplies. Patamu, Tusan\'s wife, complains about being separated from her parents and cousins. Their daughter is the only child at the site and has to invent games to entertain herself. This is where we stayed while filming the black-necked cranes.', '8', '6'],
   ['slideshow/images2/Film-crew-at-Arjin.jpg', 'Filming in Arjin Mountain', 'I make quite a fashion statement in my rubber pants and baseball cap. Believe it or not, that cap was bright blue at one time. Tusun Sawuti, on my left, was my tireless guide. Zhongyue Cao, my driver, on the right, suffered dreadfully from altitude sickness after coming out to film with us. The cranes we were trying to film nest in vast swampy areas covered by more than four feet of water.', '9', '7'],
   ['slideshow/images2/View-of-goddess-mountain.jpg', 'View of Goddess Mountain', 'This spectacular sunrise falling on the sacred Khawakarpo Mountain range was taken from the observation deck at the China Exploration and Research Society Mastiff Center in southwest China.', '10', '8'],
   ['slideshow/images2/Killed-sheep.jpg', 'Nothing Goes to Waste', 'Welcome to the Arjin Mountain butcher shop. The Uighurs eat almost every part of these slaughtered sheep, including sucking the marrow out of all bones.', '11', '9'],
   ['slideshow/images2/Blowing-in-lungs.jpg', 'Sheep Lungs', 'It\'s normal for women to blow into the lungs of slaughtered sheep to make sure they are healthy enough to eat. If the organ doesn\'t inflate, the sheep probably had an infection and the lungs would be thrown away.', '12', '10'],
   ['slideshow/images2/Xiaoli-and-Brent-in-snow.jpg', 'Filming in the Snow', 'Filming in subfreezing temperatures is miserable for a whole slew of reasons, including having to waterproof and weatherproof all your equipment and bundling up for 10-plus hours in snow and rain. Xiaoli and I soon discovered that exposure to the elements from sunup to sundown is all part of the \"fun\" of filming wildlife.', '13', '11'],
