The Ecologist is running an excellent interview with Mark Carwardine on his thoughts about the Last Chance To See TV series.

What do you hope the series will achieve?
I hope it will make a lot of people who wouldn't normally watch a wildlife series, let alone a conservation series take notice.

I think that by having Stephen on board who has such a big following, and making it a light hearted travelogue with a serious theme - I hope it will get a wide audience.
