| Summary: | On the Brink features four 50 minute films that look at how scientists and conservationists are working to protect several endangered species and habitat: tigers in Asia, pandas in China's Sichuan Province, wild horses in Western China, and a tropical coral reef in Bali. Natural History New Zealand (NHNZ) is one of the world's leading television production companies. Tigers: Fighting Back: Leading the charge to save Asian tigers are the intelligence gatherers: three biologists from three very different countries. Their mission is to understand tigers, and their weapon is science. The challenge these biological detectives face is enormous -- over the last century tiger numbers have plummeted by 95%. But despite these horrific statistics, these biologists are optimistic that not only can the world's biggest cat be saved from extinction, but that it can thrive. Journey with three scientists who believe that by understanding how tigers live, what they eat, and what habitats they prefer, we can ensure they remain in our forests, allowed to live their elusive lives in peace.
