Saving Species

21/40. Saba Douglas-Hamilton reports from Samburu national park in Kenya where she and her family have studied the elephants and lions for decades. Saba sees pressures from all directions impacting on the wildlife. In her first report we hear about the effects of severe flooding after a period of sustained drought on the savannah and we get an insight into the elephants within the national park. We hear from Mark Brazil on Tyuleniy Island (in the sea of Okhotsk off the coast of Russia) and his close encounters with Stellers Sea Lions. And in the UK, culm grassland making a return - the preferred habitat of the Marsh Fritillary. Presented by Brett Westwood Produced by Sheena Duncan Series Editor Julian Hector.
