GOOD NEWS FROM PLANET EARTH – HOW WE PROTECT ANIMAL SPECIES

About 150 animals and plant species are becoming extinct. Every day. But there are dedicated people who protect highly endangered animals and help them to make a comeback. Conservationists in Brazil are restoring the habitat for the golden lion tamarin, human foster mothers are teaching captive-born bald ibises their flight path over the Alps, and marine biologists are rescuing the Californian sea otter.
