Naturalist and filmmaker Simon Plowright has dedicated his life to understanding and protecting Tasmania's unique wildlife. That mission leads him to an old, abandoned farmhouse, where a community of rarely seen eastern quolls resides. To find out more about these enigmatic, small marsupials, Simon packs his cameras and moves in with them for a year. However, this will be no simple field study. Over the next twelve months, he and his quolls will encounter invasive predators, opportunistic thieves, and the worst bushfire in Australia's history.

Then see how local ranchers have learned to coexist with jaguars, which once threatened their livelihoods, by establishing ecotourism as a new revenue stream.
