Back From The Brink: Saved from Extinction

Travel to three unique regions around the globe, each with an animal species whose numbers dwindled to the brink of extinction: California's enchanting Channel Island fox, China's fabled Yunnan golden monkey, and the wondrous migrating giant red crabs of Christmas Island. Meet the scientists, researchers, park rangers, and students who are working passionately to preserve these endangered species.
