Episode 2 • Jun 07, 2014
Episode #1.2
Four months on and his grand scheme has hit the buffers. His rainforest turned out to be little more than scrub and a squatter called Elias is still occupying the land. Charlie wants to evict the squatter, but Elias keeps delaying his departure - something Charlie suspects is little more than a cover for illegal logging. Philippa,Charlie's wife, flies out from England to raise his spirits and encourages him to search for the giant otter, one of Charlie's favourite animals.

Nine months on and Charlie's plan to create a buffer zone along the Manu national park has hit rock bottom. Unable to secure his land because of a squatter, Charlie had planned to evict him. But having now met his family and his disabled daughter, Heidi, Charlie is learning that if you want to protect the rainforest you need to include the local people.
