Last Chance to See

Mark Carwardine, 2009

Join Britain's best-loved wit and raconteur, Stephen Fry, as he follows in his great friend Douglas Adams' footsteps with zoologist Mark Carwardine, in search of some of the rarest and most threatened animals on Earth. In the 1980s celebrated writer Douglas Adams teamed up with zoologist Mark Carwardine and together they embarked on a lively and groundbreaking expedition, travelling the globe in search of the world's endangered animals. Twenty years later Adams' great friend, comic genius and compere extraordinaire Stephen Fry, is returning with Mark to see if the species still exist. Six separate journeys will take them to Madagascar, New Zealand, China, Mauritius, Indonesia and The Congo to look for a flightless parrot, the Yangtze river dolphin, man-eating Komodo dragons, man's closest living relative, the pygmy chimpanzee and an animal so bizarre it seems to have been assembled from bits of other creatures. These are not just travels to the four corners of the world, but a journey in time to open our eyes to what humans have done to the Earth in the 20 years since the original Last Chance to See expeditions. It is a unique insight into the disappearing world around us, by the most extraordinary, informed, enthusiastic and amusing partnerships and will be required reading for anyone interested in the natural world.
