and Weather: Horizon: Wildlife - The Last Great Battle
This week's programme in the series on Man and Science today.Experts estimate that within 30 years - some say sooner - the tiger, orangutan and gorilla will have vanished for ever.
For each year of this century one wild animal has been wiped out. Despite game parks and nature reserves, the natural habitat of many of the great mammals is being destroyed for ever by poaching, political instability - and man's need for more and more land.
If this slaughter in the wild continues, we must preserve these endangered animals in zoos. But to breed sufficient numbers and establish zoo banks to ensure their survival would mean changing the format of zoos from "animal exhibitions" to breeding centres.
Can zoos do it? With a worldwide breeding record for gorillas of under two a year in zoos, just what are the chances for such species in captivity? Or is it the last great battle for survival?
"The programme was remarkable for some quite fascinating photography, particularly the birth of a baby rhino in captivity" (Daily Telegraph)

About this project
This site contains the BBC listings information which the BBC printed in Radio Times between 1923 and 2009. You can search the site for BBC programmes, people, dates and Radio Times editions.
We hope it helps you find information about that long forgotten BBC programme, research a particular person or browse your own involvement with the BBC.
Through the listings, you will also be able to use the Genome search function to find thousands of radio and TV programmes that are already available to view or listen to on the BBC website.
There are more than 5 million programme listings in Genome. This is a historical record of the planned output and the BBC services of any given time. It should be viewed in this context and with the understanding that it reflects the attitudes and standards of its time - not those of today.
To read scans of the Radio Times magazines from the 1920s, 30s, 40s and 50s, you can navigate by issue.
