Last Chance to See: Kakapo Parrot Encounter with Stephen Fry
Parrot lovers will especially enjoy this video, but anyone who enjoys birds and who wishes to protect endangered species will like it also. Following in the footsteps of Douglas Adams, Stephen Fry joins Mark Carwardine to travel to some of the most remote places on earth in search of endangered animals. In this case, he meets a Kakapo, Strigops habroptilus, a round, sweet-smelling green parrot that lives in New Zealand.
I am very jealous of all you peeps who live in the UK: BBC Two is starting this series, Last Chance to See tomorrow! Alas, I cannot see it.

It is truly sad that they have to have a show like that. :'(

I wonder if it will air on the regular BBC channel? What a cute Kakapo, do you know how (what I can only guess is a sanctuary) the Kakapo ended up there?

The government of New Zealand has set aside three small islands for the Kakapo to live on in safety.
