According to wildlife experts there will be no wild tigers left in India by the end of the century. Despite conservation efforts their numbers are dwindling alarmingly. This documentary investigating the huge upsurge of the poaching of wild tigers was shown earlier this year but tonight is updated with information about what has happened since the initial broadcast. it combines stunning footage of tigers with a disturbing report into their plight. It examines the work of Project Tiger, a great conservation success story for nearly 20 years but now apparently losing its grip, and discovers how poachers are slaughtering enormous numbers of tigers to supply the vast Chinese medicine market.

Since the programme was transmitted, there have been heartening moves to safeguard the tiger. Among them is the setting up of a Global Tiger Forum, the largest ever strategy in conservation in which countries will pool expertise and resources to work together for a common aim. There have also been some important arrests and a seizure of tiger products by the Traffic India organisation. But whether it will be enough to save the tiger population remains to be seen - and if the tiger is to disappear, what hope can there be for the other giant symbols of the conservation movement, such as the panda and the rhino?

Live from the Royal Albert Hall, Carl Orff's Carmina Burana provides the thrilling climax to this concert which opens with two British works - the Overture to a Picaresque Comedy by Arnold Bax and Sir Malcolm Arnold's Second Symphony, written for tonight's performers, the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra.

Richard Hickox conducts with Janice Watson (soprano), James Bowman (counter-tenor) and Donald Maxwell (baritone), the Highcliffe Junior Choir, the Waynflete Singers and the Bournemouth Symphony Chorus. Presented by James Naughtie.

BBC Proms 1994 7.30pm BBC2
Carl Orff's Carmina Burana was an instant hit on its premiere in 1937, and since then, thanks to the good offices of advertising executives, has become the only piece of 20th century choral music that everybody can hum. The opening song, O fortuna!, will forever conjure up images of a well-groomed surfer enjoying the fragrance of Old Spice aftershave.
Adverts aren't the only reason why Carmina Burana is so popular. The Latin lyrics, written in the 13th century, deal with the finer things in life: sex, drinking and more sex. "It's great fun to perform," says tonight's conductor Richard Hickox. "I remember Tom Allen fainting during a performance of this at the Proms 20 years ago and his place taken by a member of the audience. Fingers crossed tonight!" The concert opens with Bax's Overture to a Picaresque Comedy and Arnold's Second Symphony which, says Hickox, boasts "the loudest finale in all music."
