Join wildlife broadcaster Kate Humble and Edward Whitley for Series 2 as they explore unexpected solutions from award-winning conservationists saving wildlife species from Javan gibbons to jaguars in Brazil and learn how even a small stream frog in remote Patagonia was able to find its biggest champion.
Hear from the people redefining our relationship with species including the world's smallest elephant in Malaysian Borneo, the Grey Crowned Crane in Rwanda, brown spider monkeys in Colombia and orchids and Yew trees in Nepal as they explain How to Save It and safeguard the natural world and our planet.

The Waimiri-Atroari people fought with their lives to protect their land when Brazil’s military dictatorship forced the BR-174 highway through the Amazon rainforest in the 1970s, cutting the habitat of wildlife in two. The Waimiri subsequently recorded more than 20,000 road fatalities of wildlife. In this episode, Kate Humble and Edward Whitley hear from Fernanda Abra, a road ecologist and pioneer of low-cost canopy bridges in Brazil. Together with the Waimiri, Fernanda and her team have built the first 32 bridges to reconnect habitat for tree-dwelling mammals such as Capuchin and spider monkeys. Her Reconecta Project is the start of an ambitious plan to scale across the world's most biodiverse country which has the fourth-largest road network.
