Abstract:

Economic transition and wildlife preservation are featured in this program. Mongolia finds itself free of Soviet domination but without currency and facing an economic crisis. A young Englishman dedicates himself to protecting and preserving the panda population of China, whose land is being taken over by Chinese farmers. And in Nepal, Kanchha, a two-year-old rhinoceros, is one of the country's 500-member rhinoceros population which is threatened with extinction. Efforts to save them are detailed.
