The largest and most dramatic example of course is sealife. However I heard they do plan on finding a solution to save the whales.

Its about time they need to, as illegal whaling has shown its impact on their population. The Reality show "Whale Wars" on discovery is a nice program to watch the progress

I also recommend looking up Blue Planet. The information and watching the cycles of life in both the sea and on the shore is fascinating.
