Assisting Ongoing Conservation Efforts
In this particular mission, Dr. Copley and his team were not just after venturing into the unknown and discovering all kinds of new species. They wanted their research to help further conservation efforts around the world, and to offer insight into the steps we might take to better take care of the planet moving deeper into the 21st century. The team gathered a lot of data, which will be useful for many years to come.

Understanding The Species Better
While being interviewed for the documentary, Dr. Copley talked about how watching these species in their natural habitat could help to gain a better understanding of them, and the techniques they had used to survive in the harshest of conditions. He reiterated that from a research perspective, a lot more can be gained by watching them in their daily lives, rather than collecting them with a net and studying that.
