Survival with Ray Mears, is a three-part television series that was hosted by Ray Mears, following him as he tracks predators in their natural habitats. The series was broadcast by ITV from April 18 to 2 May 2010, and was billed as the return of the Survival brand. It was later followed by Wild Britain with Ray Mears.
Survival consists of three-hour-long programs, focusing on Mears' tracking of the world's top predators. He follows the leopard in Namibia, the bear in British Columbia, and the wolf in Central Idaho. An important theme is the threats faced by each species. In Idaho, the crew arrives only days before the wolf's status as a protected species is lifted, with local farmers indicating their intention to begin hunting them. In British Columbia, the impact of global warming on the salmon population is felt by the bear whilst in Namibia, the uneasy co-existence between leopards and local farmers is highlighted.
