About the show:

Window into the Wild goes beyond the visitor experience to explore how Mandai Wildlife Reserve is evolving, and what that means for the animals, people and conservation work behind it. Across the series, we follow keepers, vets, conservationists and partners as they rethink habitats, animal care and visitor experiences, while working on breeding, research, species recovery and conservation efforts that extend beyond the parks. From the transformation of Mandai’s wildlife attractions to the long-term work involved in protecting threatened species, the series reveals the people and decisions shaping how wildlife is cared for today.
