“The Panda of Spiders”. “When I discovered that the biggest wolf spider of Europe, perhaps the biggest in the world, lived in a single very small valley on a very small island of the Madeira archipelago I craved to see it in person and tell its story. But it’s a bittersweet story, because this “panda of spiders” is listed as critically endangered on the IUCN Red List and conservation efforts are being carried out to ensure its survival. A small colony has been taken in at Bristol Zoo Gardens as part of their conservation programme”. (Photo by Emanuele Biggi/Wildscreen 2016)
