CHAMPIONS OF THE WILD - WHALES / GIANT TURTLES Synopsis: Across the world scientists, activists and biologists dedicate their lives to studying some of the world’s rarest, most endangered species. Through years of close observation these individuals, often working against traditional scientific thought, have come to understand their animals better than anyone. They are the CHAMPIONS OF THE WILD. WHALES 40 tons of mystery! An ocean traveller for millions of years; the stuff of legend an myth. Even todays humans know little of whales, but for 25 years researcher Jim Darring has been pulling back this giant sea dwellers veil of secrecy. It’s the key to the whales future. The more we know about them, the more fascinated we have become, and the greater is our personal stake for their survival. GIANT TURTLES For 100 million years, they have cruised the seas, travelling astounding distances every year. Today every single species of sea turtle is either threatened or endangered. Peter Pritchard saw his first sea turtle in an Irish aquarium, and he immediately fell in love. Over the past 35 years, he has seen every species of turtle in the sea and has travelled the globe to study these intriguing reptiles. When it comes to conservation, Pritchard firmly believes that “people are always the problem, and people are always the solution.” He has worked with Audley James and other members of the indigenous Arawak community in Moruka, Guyana, to ensure that young people grow up to love and respect turtles - and that the days when turtles were slaughtered for meat are gone forever. With breathtaking underwater photography, Giant Sea turtles offers a unique picture of some of the world’s most mysterious creatures.     Starring: In Association With Discovery Channel   Category: Documentary, Wildlife   Age Restriction: ALL AGES
