Watch 'Last Lands' returns, exploring global conservation efforts in 2-part series:
What they’re saying:
- Bob Woodruff: “It’s crucial to witness what’s happening to the world’s greatest parks; the threats to their land, forests, and seas are real. If we don’t act now, our children may never experience what we’ve long taken for granted. ‘Last Lands’ isn’t just about exploring these remarkable places; it’s about telling the stories of the people fighting to save them."
- Season 2, episode 1 official synopsis: “El Mirador is a former thriving Mayan city, now hidden by a near-impenetrable rainforest. Woodruff ventures to see the ancient city through the eyes of its protectors: the park rangers who are risking their lives to save the rainforest at large and their heritage."
- Episode 2 synopsis: “Coiba National Park lies 15 miles off the coast of Panama. The island, previously home to one of the most notorious prisons in all of Central and South America, is now in the middle of the world’s largest shark and humpback whale superhighways. Woodruff documents the overwhelming beauty of this forgotten corner of the world and investigates the impact of cartels using the route to smuggle illegal products north."
