Last Chance to See

Last Chance to See is a 1989 BBC radio documentary series and its accompanying book, written and presented by Douglas Adams and Mark Carwardine.

In 1990, an accompanying book was published in the UK, describing the various adventures that duo had encountered on journeys, often with a comic tone.

The book covers most of the radio episodes, but excludes the Juan Fernández fur seal and the Amazonia manatee.

In the posthumous biography and essay collection, The Salmon of Doubt, Adams describes Last Chance to See as his favourite work.

The series excludes the Rodrigues fruit bat, the Yangtze river dolphin, which is "in all probability extinct", and the Juan Fernandez fur seal, which had proved embarrassingly easy for Adams and Carwardine to find.
