Adams also wrote the very excellent book "Last Chance to See" - a 'round the world tour with zoologist/photographer Mark Carwardine to look at some of the worlds rarest and most threatened species (komodo dragon, yangtze river dolphine, white rhino, etc). It was also a BBC special or series, I think.
