We’re really excited to see what made the cut in the piece about saigas which will be on Planet Earth II on December 4th.
A camera crew went to both Russia and Kazakhstan to film saiga behaviour and to see them calving. However, in Kazakhstan they witnessed the worst die-off in saiga history, with thousands of the critically endangered antelopes becoming ill and dying in front of them in a matter of hours.
Tune in to see what the film crew witnessed, but if you can’t get the BBC where you are then read an article by SCA’s founder E.J Milner-Gulland which was published in The Conversation today.
