BBC-TV Series on Endangered Species
Co-presented by Mark & Stephen Fry

Mark has joined forces with Stephen Fry to present a new television series about endangered species – as inspired by Mark's travels to almost every country on Earth studying, protecting and photographing wildlife at risk.

The series will include some of the old stars from the best-selling book, Last Chance to See (which he wrote with the late Douglas Adams 20 years ago), and it will introduce us to many new ones that have inevitably joined the ever-expanding cast of endangered species.

Updating the animals’ stories and explaining their ecological predicaments, Mark and Stephen will face a catalogue of (as yet unimaginable) adventures. The amazing, often eccentric human characters whose determination was all that kept the animals from going extinct all those years ago will, inevitably, still be around.

Filming began in the new year in the Amazon (see above for updates).

A BBC Wales and West Park Pictures co-venture; transmission due on BBC2
in 2009.
