The species they seek out include the Komodo dragon, the aye-aye lemur, the kakapo parrot, and the northern white rhinoceros. The book explores the environmental and human factors that have led to the endangerment of these species, as well as the challenges faced by conservationists working to protect them. Throughout their travels, Adams and Carwardine encounter a range of colorful characters, from local guides to passionate conservationists, and reflect on the beauty and fragility of the natural world. The book has been praised for its blend of humor and environmental advocacy, and its efforts to raise awareness about the importance of conservation and the urgent need to protect endangered species.
