The Disappearing Lake
S1 E4 - 2m 21s
As the water levels drop at Poyang Lake thousands of birds arrive to feed on the roots of aquatic plants that are uncovered. Critically endangered Siberian cranes travel the furthest; a month long journey for the unique feeding opportunity brought about by the changing water levels.
Human Change
S1 E4 - 2m 4s
Cameras in space show mines sprawl and irrigation circles appear in the desert. We have found ingenious ways to use earth’s natural resources but we have also left our trash behind.
Reforestation
S1 E4 - 1m 21s
The reforestation of trees in Tanzania could save a community of Chimpanzees. Deforestation around their reserve left the community isolated but now new chimps have been seen using the newly forested corridors to move into the area. Potential mates and a sign of a brighter future.
