Conservationist Giles Clark embarks on his biggest mission to date - taking on the illegal wildlife trade and helping to build a new bear sanctuary in Laos, south-east Asia. Giles has been asked by good friend Matt Hunt, CEO of Free the Bears, to help for 12 months and is not long into his role when he has to step in to help Mary, a five-month-old sun bear. Mary was rescued after her mother was killed in the wild and was spotted on the back of a truck for sale into the illegal wildlife trade. Fragile and malnourished, she lives with Giles and Matt at home while she needs round-the-clock specialist care.
