It affects her very, very deeply to see them dying. What do you do? Do you put them out of their misery? No, you can't. Twenty years ago we may have had 300,000 devils in Tasmania; today there may be only 150,000 left, and with those numbers you can't go around killing every diseased animal." The Parers, acclaimed around the world for their natural history photography, worked on The Nature of Australia, Wolves of the Sea, the three Galapagos documentaries (Islands Of The Vampire Birds, Two Years in Galapagos and The Dragons of Galapagos) as well as Platypus and others.
