Summary Steve's team looks at endangered predators who may well face extinction, possibly in our lifetime, like the magnificent tiger or the rhinoceros. He points out some of the threats, including absurdities like the unscientific belief in medicinal powers, besides habitat destruction, 'sports' hunting and even attempts to eradicate as pests. Luckily conservation efforts, while meeting obstacles, make some progress and there are examples of remarkably peaceful human-animal coexistence, like hyenas are welcome in Abessynia's ancient city Harrar.
