Absolutely wonderful... great to see this project being started...surely very needed to insure proper possibilities of conservation of both habitats and species...and also a better understanding of the biology of these wonderful fish...
thumb up all the way!! :thumbsup:

great link, I did a lot of reading

Although i'm not a fan of those shows where all revolves around the guy and not the animal (I'm a big fan of the school of Sir D.A.), this one's needed and soon

it was quite sobering to read about the whole biotope distruction going on in China with the dambuilding.....several fish that I took for granted to exist are extinct....gone forever thanks to those bloody dams.
like the Chinese Paddlefish for example.
now the American one has lost it's sole relative. what a waste.....and it looks like most of the other biggies are soon to be gone, dead as the dodo.

and if the people in South America won't rise up against Big Money and their political handpuppets the big rivers in Amazonia will suffer the same fate as the Yangtze.
a very useful and highly needed program, but not a show wich makes me happy to see. more sad, very sad.
