Episode Information

Thousands of elephants once roamed China’s vast continent. Today, only 250 are left hiding in the jungles of south-eastern China in the remote Yunnan province. Despite all odds they cling on in this ancient and beautiful land, existing on the very brink of extinction. What has caused their demise? Can they be saved? This film documents the quest of one woman, Grace Gabriel, to change the way local people feel about these animals and campaign for their conservation; and wildlife cameraman Richard Kirby, as he battles to film these animals in the wild before they are gone forever.
