Natura contro (English: Against Nature), also known in English as The Green Inferno and Cannibal Holocaust II, is a 1988 Italian cannibal film directed by mondo director Antonio Climati. Climati had no intention of making a sequel to Cannibal Holocaust, and the title was used by distributors of the film to on the success and notoriety of the earlier film.

Until recently, the film was relatively obscure. It is best known among cult fans as the film that ended the cannibal genre, which, by then, had virtually fallen extinct. In 2002, British distributor VIPCO released Natura Contro on VHS and DVD as Cannibal Holocaust II, the film's most common release.

This was the last film directed by Climati, who had gained notoriety as a major player in the mondo documentary film genre. Although fictional, this film deals with many common of mondo films, including customs and locales, and cruel violence. Strangely, however, the film appears to show compassion towards animals, while a main of mondo films is often real violence towards animals.

The film centres on a group of four friends, Jemma Demien (Deseligny), Mark (Merlo), Fred (Merlo), and Pete (Federci), who head into the Amazon jungle to find a lost professor (Ricci), believed to be dead until Jemma recovered his lighter. She rounds up the three men to head into the jungle and to find the legendary Imas tribe, who possess an equally legendary treasure and with whom the professor is believed to be found.
