"Last Chance to See" by Douglas Adams and Mark Carwardine - audiobook review

Douglas Adams travels around the world in search of endangered animal species with a conservationist / zoologist from WWF called Mark Carwardine. Originally a one-off magazine article, then a book to accompany a BBC Radio 4 series. The different landscapes, people, political situations, and travel anecdotes are sharp and amusing. I think this was the book that Adams was most proud about. I believe it had quite a big impact on the conservation movement but I can’t judge that. I grew up in the years immediately afterwards when Blue Peter and Newsround regularly covered these sorts of issues.
