We take oranges, grapefruit, lemons and limes for granted. They've been around our entire lives. They're always there when we want 'em. But did you have any idea that in just a few years they may all be gone? There's a lethal disease called citrus greening decimating Florida citrus. In the 20 years since it arrived, Florida has lost half its citrus land ? some 500,000 acres of groves. Farmers are nothing if not ingenious. And adaptable. Some have found better ways to protect their fruit. Others have expanded into producing other commodities ? like blueberries and peaches. We'll also take a side trip to Port Everglades, FL to try to do a little detective work as to how the bug that brought greening to America arrived ? and to show the pivotal role our ports play in keeping us all fed.
Citrus is an endangered species ? Florida has already lost half its orange groves to a lethal citrus greening disease. In Part 2 of this episode, we'll meet a Frenchman who's devoted his life to saving the Florida grapefruit industry. You'll also see hundreds of acres of trees growing under cover in screened-in closure (like a giant back porch the size of several football fields).

Gibbons are small tree-dwelling monkeys with no real predators. But in Indonesia where the native forests are being ravaged by oil palm production, young gibbons are often captured and kept as pets. When they reach sexual maturity, at around 7 years of age, and become aggressive they are either killed or caged in deplorable conditions. A remarkable young Frenchman, Aur?lien Brul?, moved to Indonesia to save the gibbon. His breathtaking courage and determination are an inspiration. He is winning a pitched battle with the authorities that has left many others in the dust.
On the island of Sumatra, in Indonesia, an iconic species is barely hanging on. Orangutans are considered critically endangered.
