Australia is the setting for a strange paradox: the koala, one of the country’s emblems is becoming extinct and yet their plight is met with general indifference. Because of massive urbanization, today 80% of koalas live on private property sometimes right in city centers. The most adorable of Australians must endure what has become an impossible cohabitation with humans. 

But a few state organizations and volunteer associations have banded together for their survival. Olivia Mokiejewski will join the team of the very unique Moggill Hospital. Unique, because here koala bears are the only patients! 

Between night rescue missions, intensive care and collecting eucalyptus leaves, Olivia will take part in a unique adventure, travelling from the beaches of the Gold Coast to the majestic plateaus of Kakadu National Park.

It’s an emergency: koalas only live in Australia and if they become extinct here, they will disappear from the planet…

In Congo, the population of the plains gorilla is dwindling with each passing day. They are victims of deforestation, illegal bushmeat trade but also of diseases like Ebola.

But for the past 25 years on the Lesio Louna Reserve, three hours north of Brazzaville, a team has implemented a plan to save them.When Olivia Mokiejewski visits this extraordinary orphanage, a six-month old gorilla has just been found abandoned on the side of the road. His family was wiped out by poachers.

Will Owando survive? How will he integrate into the group of rowdy teens that have already been treated at the center?A unique opportunity to get closer to this fascinating species. And to meet other groups of gorillas that have established themselves on the reserve.

High adrenaline and face to face encounters guaranteed…
