Marc van Roosmalen

This entertaining and educational 50-minute program follows well-known biologist Mac van Roosmalen as he pursues his life-long fascination with monkeys, traveling to exotic locations like the remote forests of Brazil--where he discovers remarkable and previously undiscovered species of all kinds. Having already found and named 20 previously unknown kinds of monkey, Roosmalen sets out another intrepid journey, this time on a quest to find large undiscovered mammals, and protect their endangered habitat.

A follow-up to the 1990 Radio 4 series in which the late Douglas Adams and Mark Carwardine travelled around the world in search of endangered species. 20 years later Stephen Fry and Mark Carwardine go back to see what has become of the animals in two decades, and to discover what has affected their fortunes.
