'This film is a real rather than a chocolate box depiction of life in the hotspots, compellingly brought to life by Russ Mittermeier, one of the world's greatest living naturalists. He brings into startling focus both the challenge we face in securing their future and the wonder of the animal and plant life still remaining'
