Mark Carwardine is a British conservationist, photographer and author. He is best known for his work on Last Chance to See – which involved two round-the-world expeditions with Douglas Adams and Stephen Fry to see endangered animals.

There are two books about the project: Last Chance to See, which he co-wrote with Adams (1990), and Last Chance to See: In the footsteps of Douglas Adams (2009).
