In some of the world's most breathtaking protected areas, share this behind the scenes, unique and very personal view of men and women of The Thin Green Line as they talk to one of their own. You'll experience their world as a ranger talking to rangers, all of whom are also husbands, wives, mothers, fathers - and it's never a 9 to 5 job.

Go side-by-side on patrol; experience their sacrifice, dedication, passion, fears, joys, exhilaration, love, despair, anguish, camaraderie ... and hope.

This is an Access All Areas pass - you'll go off t he tourist trail to ride with the guardians of the world's protected natural gems as they encounter elephant charges in South Africa, walk with armed patrols defending the Mountain Gorillas of Central Africa, hang from helicopter high above the Rockies to pluck an injured hiker to safety.
