Many of these creatures create shelters and nests in a breathtaking diversity of shape, size and colour. This one-hour film illustrates some of the wonders of architecture found in the natural world. ... continua

The biological lessons that we can learn from true islanders are applicable to the newest of islands: the National Parks we create to conserve Nature. The world is nowadays more fragmented than ever and the limited space and resources of our reserves have striking similarities to the conditions found on true islands.
With examples of the beauty and diversity found on islands such as Socotra, San Pietro and Asinara, the programme will explain how, by the understanding of a planet which is becoming a cluster of isolated environments, we can still find ways to save ... continua

With the example of the youngest island on earth the programme unveils the ways and tricks which allow plants and animals to colonise a faraway land such as a new island. Islands can be originated by different geological mechanisms but their shape, composition, and position on the globe is reflected on their inhabitants.
Species that happen to found themselves isolated become different from their relatives living on continents. And sometimes this differences go as far as producing a dwarf elephant or a giant tortoise, a flightless bird or a record-size seed. ... continua

The African savannah is often perceived as the Kingdom of Predators. But there is another, rarely seen world of the savannah: that of the hunted. The unveiling of the intricate social lives of this herbivore prey shows this habitat from a unique perspective. In the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem huge populations of prey have developed finely-tuned anti-predator strategies. These highly complex adaptations allow the prey to perfectly cope with their niche environments: their success makes them the true Kings of the savannah. Directors: U. Adilardi ... continua
