The Ace Basin – A Conservation Miracle

Season 2 Episode 209

What happens when large pieces of land are conserved? Amazingly enough, what we find is a congregation of some of the rarest species of wildlife – at least that’s what happened in the Ace Basin. Large, intact sections of protected habitat bring common and seldom-seen organisms alike, and may depend on this area for some or all of the year.
