Episode 1

They live only on Madagascar and, one by one, they are dying there. Impish, precocious and endearing, the planet’s last surviving lemurs have been cornered by man on a paradise island which has turned into their hell. Species by species they are disappearing, and only a miracle will save them now. In this beautiful, deeply moving film, Martin Clunes travels down to the Indian Ocean to witness what many fear is the lemur’s last stand, standing shoulder to shoulder with those who would save them from forces which are slipping rapidly out of control.
