North Atlantic right whales are dying faster than they can reproduce. With less than 400 remaining, these great whales rarely die of natural causes. Instead they are run over by ships or suffer lethal injuries from fishing gear. If we don't stop killing them, in 20 years they could be extinct. From the only known calving grounds to the shifting feeding grounds, ‘Last of the Right Whales' follows the North Atlantic right whale migration and the people committed to saving a species still struggling to recover from centuries of hunting.

The richness of Portugal's coastal waters is amazing. Thousands of creatures live here, both in the water and on land. The portuguese coast is the ultimate frontier before the Atlantic Ocean. In the middle of the Atlantic, the archipelago of the Azores is home to one of the richest ocean ecosystems on the Planet. In this episode we will meet some of these species in a unique and revealing look at their lives.
Water is a vital element for the survival of all living beings on Planet Earth. Rivers are, therefore, real arteries for life. From the top of the mountains where the rivers begin to run, to their final destination, we will get to know the animals and landscapes that cross the heart of Wild Portugal.
Water is the key to life. It provides a haven for countless plants and animals, everything from water-loving cats and predatory birds to killer dragonflies and carnivorous foliage. It can be a nursery, a migration stopover and a larder. And there's place where water is gathered, drained and stored for all to enjoy – the wetland. Wetlands are some of the most remarkable ecosystems in the natural world everything from dragonflies and bats to fish and amphibians can thrive thanks to the wonderful wetland.
In this episode the volunteers discover the community's role in conservation and give a hand with some of the building projects. Honey harvesting proves hair-raising for a number of volunteers, particularly Kristina, who has a bee sting phobia …. Who could blame her! A new addition bolsters the conservation efforts in the form of an amazing tracker dog called Merwe. This is a special Dutch Shepherd breed that has an incredible combination of a heightened sense of smell, speed and formidable teeth. It's always a privilege to be able to get close to black rhino and it can often be quite an emotional moment for some of the volunteers, as is the case with Jane who can't hold the tears back as she feeds Tafika for the last time.
In this episode the volunteers experience close up encounters with iconic creatures. It's not often people can experience a walk with elephants and really appreciate the size of these beasts. Giraffe also happen to wonder close which makes the experience even more epic. The volunteers get to handle paint ball guns to get an understanding of how the anti poaching team operates and it seems like Kristina is a pretty good shot! And, nothing stands in the way of hard work, as it's all hands on deck securing electric strands to a border fence. This will dramatically improve the security at Imire.
