From puffins in Northern Ireland to pine voles in Germany, Libby Penman showcases European nature stories that celebrate the amazing work of people fighting to save Europe's wildlife.

From the teams searching for the Bavarian pine vole that hasn't been seen in the wild for 60 years, to the rangers trying to protect Slovenia鈥檚 endangered eagle-owls, wildlife film-maker Libby Penman showcases a wide range of success stories from across Europe. They celebrate the amazing work of conservationists fighting to save our precious plants and animals.

Exploring some of the projects taking place across the continent, Libby reveals how puffins on Northern Ireland鈥檚 only inhabited island are being protected from furry intruders, why racoon dogs are moving south into Sweden, and how a highland landscape is being completely transformed within the biggest National Nature Reserve in the UK.

Ultimately, she discovers that despite their different objectives, these projects all have one thing in common. At their heart are passionate people making an extraordinary effort to help bring our endangered wildlife back from the brink.
