Inimitably witty and poignant, Last Chance to See is both a celebration of our most extraordinary creatures and a warning about what we have to lose if we do not act soon.Featuring a fantastic new foreword by the authors' long-time friend Stephen Fry, and an afterword from Mark Carwardine that considers what has changed since the book was first published, Last Chance to See feels more urgent than ever before.'Douglas Adams' genius was in using comedy to make serious points about the world' Independent Takes you on a journey across the world in search of exotic, endangered creatures - animals that they may never get another chance to see.
