September 2009: Last Chance to See (BBC2) - Mark and Stephen Fry co-presented this six-part series (which follows in the footsteps of a similar journey Mark made with the late Douglas Adams 20 years ago). The unlikely duo go on six separate journeys that take them from the steamy jungles of the Amazon to the ice-covered mountaintops of New Zealand and from the edge of a war zone in Central Africa to a sub-tropical paradise in the North Pacific. Along the way, they search for some of the weirdest, most remarkable and most troubled creatures on Earth.

Radio: Mark also presented the weekly half-hour radio programme Nature, on BBC Radio 4, for many years. And he has presented many mini-series and one-off programmes for BBC Radio 4, including Dreaming of Whales, Tough Lives and Superlative Birds. He provided the daily Environment News bulletin for Steve Wright in the Afternoon on BBC Radio 1 and is a frequent contributor to many other radio and television programmes about wildlife and conservation.
