Living Together

   2006    Nature
The documentary deals with the future of conservation. It begins by looking at previous efforts. The 'Save The Whales' campaign, which started in the 1960s, is seen to have had a limited effect, as whaling continues and fish stocks also decline. In the 1990s, as head of the Kenya Wildlife Service, Richard Leakey took on the poachers by employing armed units. Although it was successful in saving elephants, the policy was detrimental to the Maasai people, who were forced from their land. The need for "fortress" areas is questioned, and the recently highlighted Raja Ampat coral reef in Indonesia is an example. The more tourism it generates, the greater the potential for damage — and inevitable coastal construction. Sustainable development is viewed as controversial, and one contributor perceives it to currently be a "contradiction in terms". Trophy hunting is also contentious. Those that support it argue that it generates wealth for local economies, while its opponents point to the reducing numbers of species such as the markhor. Ecotourism is shown to be beneficial, as it is in the interests of its providers to protect their environments. However, in some areas, such as the Borneo rainforests, the great diversity of species is being replaced by monocultures. The role of both religion and the media in conservation is argued to be extremely important. Contributors to the programme admit a degree of worry about the future, but also optimism.

In the thrilling series finale, the journey culminates high in the Alps as our riders launch into an exhilarating paragliding flight above snow-dusted peaks, confronting the elements with sheer adrenaline. They then trade handlebars for putters on a breathtaking Swiss golf course, where each swing frames mist-shrouded valleys in the distance. A chance detour leads them to a quirky mountain artist’s hidden atelier, where kinetic sculptures seem to capture the spirit of their odyssey. As glaciers gleam and winding roads beckon, they pause to savour the bonds forged and miles conquered before embarking on the extended ride back home.
