The five-part natural history series, which will be fronted by Autumnwatch's Martin Hugh-Games, is expected to arrive in 2011.
Throughout the series, Hugh-Games will explore the ground-breaking work of pioneering programmes to protect some of the world's most threatened animals.
He said of the show: "This will be a highly-charged personal journey for me. Many of the animals are just a hair's breadth from extinction and sometimes the hopes of an entire species is concentrated in a few tiny, vulnerable babies."
