Saving Asia

Episode 7 of 7

Many passionate people are dedicated to saving the wild animals of Asia. These individuals and their ingenious solutions give us hope and optimism for the future of the continent.

Remarkable people are dedicating their lives to saving Asia's extraordinary wildlife, using ingenious solutions. In Borneo, we follow a sun bear being released back into the wild, and in Java, we see how a breeding programme is saving the Javan green magpie. In Japan, orphaned shark embryos are being raised in an artificial uterus. And off Bali, fishermen are trialling new technology that could stop rare species being caught in their nets. We witness a Nepali police raid disrupting the illegal wildlife trade and also join a 24-hour wildlife rescue team saving Sunda pangolins in urban Singapore.
