What does it take to save a species from extinction? Is it determination, luck, optimism, jurassic-park-style science… or just hard work? Well, in truth, its a combination of them all. We are so lucky to share our planet with so many spellbinding species – from sharks that use electromagnetic fields to hunt, sloths that have a unique endemic ecosystem on their backs and the giant ecosystem engineers that are rhinos.
