Saving Asia

Episode 7 of 7

The stories of the passionate people who are dedicated to saving the wild animals of Asia - including sun bears in Borneo, Javan green magpies and Sunda pangolins in Singapore.

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.
