Kangaroo Mob
"Meet the mob of ‘street smart’ kangaroos moving into Australia’s capital city and the ecologists following their every move. Over one year we follow mob leader Black Spot and kangaroo mum Madge with her two young joeys – mischievous Sonny and tiny pouch bound Alice. After 15 years of drought, Canberra’s Eastern Grey Kangaroos know that the parks and gardens of Australia’s “bush capital” provide a reliable supply of the juicy grass but learning to be a street-smart urban ‘roo is tough with the kangaroos negotiating busy roads and avoiding cars and dogs. Inevitably their incursion into human habitat causes problems – damage to property and collisions with cars. It’s costing millions and thousands of animals are killed each year. The farmers complain that the ‘roos are eroding farmland and damaging their fences. The ACT Government holds an annual kangaroo cull to reduce animal numbers to “sustainable levels”. Confrontations make international news as the situation arouses passions and polarizes opinion. Are the kangaroo’s pests that need to be eradicated or a protected national icon to be saved at all costs? A small team of ecologists, including Don Fletcher and Claire Wimpenny, hopes to provide some answers in a 12-month study, which uses GPS collars and satellite technology to track the kangaroos’ nocturnal movements. Amidst the controversy that rages when people are forced to share their backyards with a large wild animal, the scientists discover surprising new behaviour. It appears that the ‘roos are learning to live with people much better than people are learning to live with the ‘roos. Filmed over a year, KANGAROO MOB follows a few remarkable urban ‘roos to provide a warm and entertaining look at what happens when human development encroaches and two very different species are forced to co-exist."

Save this Rhino
"Kevin Pietersen (KP) invites Matt Wright to South Africa, to visit the Kruger National Park area, and show him the state of play and understand the world of poaching. Aside from his success in cricket, KP has also been a fierce and passionate member of the global choir singing to save the rhino. It’s Matt’s first time in South Africa, but it’s not the first time he’s had to face the problem of endangered species. They will meet baby Arthur, who lost his mum to poaching alongside many other baby rhinos who suffered the same fate. Angered and emotional at this dire situation, KP and Matt seek answers to why people would do this. It’s an emotional experience, and it cements the need to find solutions fast, and there may be one already. What becomes blatantly obvious is that the problem is challenging and solutions convoluted."

Save this Rhino
"Although the situation is bleak, there is hope. Back at an undisclosed reserve, Matt, KP and Graeme Smith meet another kind of team saving rhinos. From perimeter and ground-based technologies to revolutionary communication and data analysing systems, they are diving into what could be the future of wildlife conservation. Technology seems an obvious solution, but it can’t be the sole strategy, so the team visit a local community who have started a wildlife tourism reserve, which blends employment with the survival of species. It really is a war that is intensifying, and the guys witness the high level of security to protect rhinos against impending incursions at a private game reserve where another baby rhino is roaming freely with his mum. Unfortunately, it’s the exception rather than the rule. Most rhinos struggle to survive. If they survive at all. The clock is ticking, and if these solutions don’t work, they might all be gone by 2025."

Making Pandas
"The iconic Giant Panda is on the brink. With only 1600 left in the wild, pressures on their natural habitat and a notoriously small window for reproduction are edging them towards extinction - fast.

The team from the River Safari has a tough road ahead. This film follows the year that Kai Kai and Jia Jia become the focus of attention not just from the general public but from the scientists themselves in the greatest challenge Singapore Zoo has faced yet."

Panda Power - Rise of Furry Diplomats
"They’re cute, cuddly and charming, and they’re one of China’s most effective diplomatic tools. We’re talking about pandas. In the past decade, China has been sending pandas around Southeast Asia in an effort to build alliances. In return, countries are pulling out all the stops for these furry diplomats - from building palaces to spending millions on the care and breeding of the pandas. What does this signal about China’s relationship with Southeast Asia?"

Malaysian Wildlife
"Malaysia's rainforest is one of the most biodiverse in the world and one of the last habitats for wild tigers. The wild elephants of the forest are drawn to cultivated land. Conflicts between humans and animals are inevitable. No one wants to share the habitat with dangerous animals. The Malaysian jungle is an ecosystem of great biodiversity. In the shelter of the forest wild elephants, tigers, tapirs, and a rich bird life can be found. But rapid deforestation is threatening the future of many species of wildlife. While willingness to protect the rainforest is growing as prosperity increases, nature and species protection conflicts with the need to improve living conditions for the rural population."
