In the last thirty years in Italy many efforts have been made in order to save many animals from the brink of extinction. Studies, census, reintroduction plans have been developed and protected areas have been introduced in order to save them. Did all this work? Which is today's condition of otters, turtles, wolves, eagles, bears and lynx? Are they still the most endangered species of Italian's wildlife? Or is there anyove else, maybe some less known species, that is now in danger? Where do we have to put our efforts now? and who are the enemies we will have to face?
This documentary wants to answer these questions, in order to celebrate the good results achieved and at the same time focus on the new issues we'll have to fix, before it is too late.
