    Could you do animal of the week episode on Saimaa ringed seal. There are only ~300 in the World and they live in one lake in Finland. Or wisent aka European bison.

      Yes, this would be great! Saimaa ringed seals are symbol for Finnish Association for Nature Conversation and for many years being symbol for all conservation in Finland. Our "polar bear". Once there were Saimaa ringed seals almost all around Saimaa, our biggest lake. Until 1940's it was paid bounty for harming fishing industry but this was false knowledge. For example they do not prey for local endangered salmon species. 1955 they became protected. Change in attidute followed in 70'-80's with also one famous song particularly from Juha Vainio which changed attidutes of people.

    I'm subscribing yous do deserve it mate very good channel I'm glad I found it....... the Madagascar people need to be taught how to look after their island its to important for them to have old wives tales about aye eye's climbing into their rooms at night any and all the superstitions they have or things they've been told over generations need to be corrected its not healthy for the animals or the people it's crazy ideas parents had to stop their children wandering off into the jungle they worked way back when but times have changed the rest of the world should be helping and funding Madagastians to look after the presious inviroment and animals on their crazy beautiful unusually diverse island that we all need it to survive and flourish its an extremely beautiful place that our great grandkids+ need to see the Madagastians have a real important job to do and so far it's still there we need to help them help Madagascar I have the utmost respect for the people who look after Madagascar but we all need to worry about it not just them
