The other episode was about the recent big oil spill though this probably wasn&#39;t technically a LCTS episode my brain keeps compartmentalising it with the series. &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_redface.gif&quot; title=&quot;:oops:&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/africa#post-274495 Sat, 30 Jul 2011 19:48:38 +0000 whirlwindwoo 274495@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <p>The TV series with Steven Fry and Mark Carwardine was super brilliant, i love wildlife in Africa. mostly Southern Africa i have a few websites of Sabi Sand private reserves and Kruger National Park, has anybody read the book Last Chance To See it is a good reading illustrated pictures. </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/last-chance-to-see-website/page/3#post-272953 Fri, 01 Jul 2011 14:45:54 +0000 Nitro 272953@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <p>I just saw this show advertised on PBS to be aired soon. </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/africa#post-253857 Mon, 15 Nov 2010 17:28:40 +0000 thimothy 253857@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <p>To be frank I have no idea where he lives in South Africa. I have a hunch that he is in Johannesburg because nowadays most of the celebrities are living here. Anyway I have got a friend who is working in Dutch embassy in South Africa. I will contact him and will let everybody know the exact place. Anyway I would like to point out that I started watching BBC ever since they started showing “QI”. It is one of the best programs I have ever seen in life. </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/last-chance-to-see-website/page/3#post-252015 Sat, 30 Oct 2010 19:35:25 +0000 degs 252015@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <p>What we need is an aussiecam series to help protect Australia&#39;s endangered species. My main passion is to help save the Tweed Coast Koalas of which only about 150 are left. Yet their remaining habitat is threatened by proposed high density mini cities that will wipe out the remaining koala corridor. Team Koala Inc is doing all it can to help preserve these wonderfully iconic creatures. Please go to <a href="http://www.teamkoala.info" rel="nofollow">http://www.teamkoala.info</a> for more information. Stephen, you did such a wonderful job with the &#39;last chance to see&#39; series. Our koalas need your help. Thankyou for being concerned about our precious wildlife. </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/rhino_knotch#post-250479 Mon, 11 Oct 2010 14:39:01 +0000 frightfullychuffed 250479@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <p>well said, old thing - there absolutely </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/episode-5-chimp-island#post-243215 Mon, 02 Aug 2010 10:14:42 +0000 Mensinnylopard 243215@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <p>Very funny episode here so I like this...and I enjoyed this ... </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/interesting#post-222793 Sun, 21 Mar 2010 17:36:29 +0000 jon 222793@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <p>I think it&#39;s interesting to keep a video diary of your travels. </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/africa#post-209649 Tue, 15 Dec 2009 21:55:47 +0000 AndyBee 209649@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <p>Hi there.

I mean the rhinos would've destroyed their own population were it not for them. It's just so refreshing to see people who really care and want to see good things happen to wild life, rather than just let them die out. And it's very hard to do. It takes real dedication, and I'm quite envious of their nobility. http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/afrycam-african-video-episode-3-african-day-2#post-143551 Tue, 19 May 2009 19:02:03 +0000 Tor Hershman 143551@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ African video, this one should be there &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_wink.gif&quot; title=&quot;;-)&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgdffzvoVmc">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgdffzvoVmc</a><br /> <br /> Stay on groovin' safari,<br /> Tor Hershman http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/my-question-got-answered#post-113467 Fri, 27 Feb 2009 18:18:26 +0000 PamJH 113467@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ Thanks for this, MP. http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/my-question-got-answered#post-113397 Fri, 27 Feb 2009 15:12:54 +0000 monochromeprincess 113397@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ Kakapos and other animals<br /> <br /> <img src="http://i372.photobucket.com/albums/oo162/hoodedwoodlandwanderer/aq.png" alt="" /><br /> <br /> Kakapos and other animals<br /> <br /> M: “How do Stephen and Mark think the situation has changed for the animals that Douglas and Mark went in search of for the original project? I am particularly interested in news of kakapo numbers.” <br /> S: Well we haven’t go to South A…New Zealand yet, I should say<br /> M: (laughs)<br /> S: that’s kakapos – well done Stephen – so we can’t answer that one.<br /> M: Well actually there was a bit of news about kakapos last week while we were in…um…where were we last week?<br /> S: uh…Kurindee? (sp)<br /> M: Kurindee. Apparently one of the kakapos died. So I do know the figures, because I got this note from a friend, but when Douglas and I were in New Zealand there were forty, <br /> S: Yeah?<br /> M: and their numbers went up to a peak of ninety three in April this year<br /> S: Yeah?<br /> M: And since then three have died so<br /> S: So it’s at ninety.<br /> M: Ninety, yes. <br /> S: So it’s still<br /> M: But it’s one of the few animals whose numbers have increased<br /> S: Yep<br /> M: Even thought ninety is a scarily low number…<br /> S: But it’s a good question, isn’t it, from Adrian Camp, you know obviously I can’t answer as well as you but at the bit I would say of it that strikes me is that more is known now<br /> M: Mmhmm.<br /> S: Not that I’m saying that you lived in the Dark Ages when you went to visit but you know both through technology and through the fact that environmental and conservation issues have risen higher and higher on the agenda in people’s consciousness, academics have come, perhaps, in greater numbers, in Madagascar and is true of the other environments we are visiting, there seems to be more data.<br /> M: Yeah, certainly. I mean with Madagascar we knew virtually nothing about the wildlife in Madagascar when Douglas and I came, and almost all of the research has been done in the years since, so we have a much better idea of what’s going on, of what’s here first of all<br /> S: Mmm.<br /> M: And what’s going on, so yeah.<br /> S: And it seems a dull point to make but it’s a truth of all science that until you know the basic facts of anything you’re investigating any solution you suggest is meaningless; if you don’t know how many there are of a species, what kind of food they eat, and much duller things that that – or at least superficially dull – I mean the real everyday detail of how animals and plants interreact, until that is really well charted you can’t begin to save it. <br /> M: The trouble is of course you’re racing against the clock. <br /> S: Mmm.<br /> M: You need to have that information but you need to have it now, because a lot of…well we’re seeing animals on this trip that have only been discovered a few years ago and yet already they’re endangered, so we barely know they exist and have given them a name, let alone know exactly where they live or how many of them there are <br /> S: Yes.<br /> M: And what habitat they need and what food they need and so on and so forth. http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/my-question-got-answered#post-113393 Fri, 27 Feb 2009 14:47:22 +0000 monochromeprincess 113393@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ Terrific, MP!
