Last Chance to See – Amazonian Manatee
2009 / 59 minutes / Tim Green
In the Amazon Basin, a conservation project works with local hunting communities to protect the endangered Amazonian manatee. By rescuing, rehabilitating, and releasing injured animals, the project aims not only to save individual manatees but also to foster greater appreciation for the species. With only a few thousand thought to remain in the wild, each successful release is significant. The episode follows the careful assessment and release of a rescued manatee, highlighting a hopeful approach to conservation through community involvement.
