- Summary:
- San Diego Zoo is one of the most famous zoos in the world. It pioneered the idea of keeping animals in open spaces mimicking their natural habitats, rather than keeping them locked in cages. But San Diego Zoo is not simply a tourist attraction. It plays an important part in sustaining species and this film explores how it has collaborated with China to help save the Giant Panda from extinction. This film also tells the remarkable story of the California Condor, brought back from the brink of extinction in the late 1980s through captive breeding programmes across California. This was the most expensive species-conservation project in US history, costing over 35 million dollars.
