S1 E4 - 30s
The Danube is the largest preserved wetland on the continent, a sanctuary for thousands of species - many are the last of their kind. Conservationists are working to preserve and restore these precious habitats before it’s too late.
Ermakov Island
S1 E4 - 2m 45s
With dikes removed, nature came back to life on Ermakov Island. With nature taking control, plants returned, fish and birds followed in huge numbers, and insects started to flourish.
The Delta's Pelican Colony
S1 E4 - 2m 50s
Made up of more than 18,500 birds, this pelican mega-colony is the Danube Delta’s largest. The Delta offers more than fish; it also provides the pelicans a pristine habitat.
The Danube Delta’s Fen Raft Spider
S1 E4 - 2m 33s
Meet the fen raft spider. It can stay underwater for up to 30 minutes but surfaces when it’s time to hunt. It uses surface tension of the water to pick up vibrations to catch its dinner.
