Tigers in water
With the final episode of Dynasties now aired we take a look at how you can continue the plight of the endangered tigers.
In this final episode of the Dynasties series, a tigress named Raj Bhera who lives in Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve in India holds the perfect tiger territory, with dense jungle, spring-fed ponds and rich grasslands teeming with prey.
And now, she has four tiny newborn cubs to care for. They are the future of her dynasty.
But the idyllic world that she inhabits is changing.
Rival tigers, seeking their own territory, are encroaching on her hunting lands.
One, in particular, her adult daughter Solo, is challenging Raj Bhera in the heart of her territory.
The powerful tigress must fight to retain control of these hunting grounds while continuing to feed and protect her growing cubs.
Solo's persistence puts pressure on the whole family until Raj Bhera makes a decision that could end both her life and her dynasty forever.
You can watch Dynasties on BBC One at 8pm on Sundays, or on iPlayer.

"The most exciting adventure was arriving in Botswana during my gap year. It was a culture shock! I had the most amazing wildlife experiences; working with cheetahs, wild dogs and I experienced human-wildlife conflicts. A highlight was when I helped to hatch African penguin eggs and, after rearing, released them into the wild."
