About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Join Douglas Adams, best-selling and beloved author of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and zoologist Mark Carwardine on an adventure in search of the world’s most endangered and exotic creatures.
In this book, Adams’ self-proclaimed favourite of his own works, the pair encounter animals in imminent peril: the giant Komodo dragon of Indonesia, the lovable kakapo of New Zealand, the blind river dolphins of China, the white rhinos of Zaire, the rare birds of Mauritius island in the Indian Ocean and the alien-like aye-aye of Madagascar. Inimitably witty and poignant, Last Chance to See is both a celebration of our most extraordinary creatures and a warning about what we have to lose if we do not act soon.
Featuring a fantastic new foreword by the authors' longtime friend Stephen Fry and an afterword from Mark Carwardine that considers what has changed since the book was first published, Last Chance to See feels more urgent than ever before.

An absolute MUST read
Old, young, or somewhere in the middle, this is a must listen / read.
I first heard this book not long after it came out & I was, for a want of more expressive term, moved. To hear it again now with the great Stephen Fry's involvment in the revisit of these memorable locations it is heart breaking and essential knowledge WE must all obtain, action within and continue to fight for.
Please, read / Listen.

A must read!
I re-read (actually, this time I listened) this after more than 25 years - and it is still relevant; even more so.
