Last Chance to See

Have you been watching 'Last Chance to See' on ABC.  A great program to complement any lessons you are doing on biodivesity and the treats to it.  Its with Stephen Fry, travelling the world to find engangered species and explore their habitats and the threats to them.  LAst week he was in South East Asia and saw amongst other things - komodo dragons, mangroves, spiny coated ant eaters and proboscis monkeys.  Monocultural palm oil plantations were a big threat to the natural environments that support these animals and plants.
