Kieling ventures to western China almost as far as the border with Tibet in search of the great panda, the legendary bamboo bear. Set against a gigantic natural backdrop, the filmmaker is attempting to track down the extremely reclusive creature. But finding one of the approximately 3000 pandas who live in the vast mountainous landscape and capturing it on camera is like searching for a needle in a haystack. And then comes a stunning close encounter with the beautiful creatures at a very special place: the breeding station at Wulong. The precious bears live in huge natural enclosures here, breeding and providing specimens to be loaned to a number of zoos all over the world. These particular creatures are only able to serve as ambassadors for their few relatives who still live in the wild since they have become accustomed to captivity, they would not be able to survive by themselves in the rainforests.

Serbia is in the heart of the Balkans, a “little Europe“ within Europe with its rich variety of landscapes and natural beauties, it certainly does this name justice. This nature documentary presents Serbia's breath-taking, picturesque regions and unique wildlife on a journey to the most beautiful and wildest areas of the Balkan peninsula, from high mountains across gentle hills to the vast plains of the Puszta. Serbia is only about five times the size of Schleswig Holstein, yet here the most varied vegetation zones, animal kingdoms and cultures meet. And even today a large number of Serbian people live in close communion with nature. They are proud of the storks' nests in the villages, the ancient species of livestock that have been preserved and the vultures that return to make their home here. In many places people are pleased to see bears, lynx and wolves, and even jackals are at home in the forests of Siberia. It is a country full of traditions and folklore, with deep influences from the Orient as well as the West. The Danube is the most prominent river in Serbia. As it makes its way through the Carpathian Mountains of Rumania it forms the most imposing gorge in Europe, the Iron Gates. Other striking features of Serbia's landscape include the archaic earth pyramids of Devil's Town, towering up in powerful red colours - and what must be the driest region of Siberia, the Deliblatska Pescara, which is also known as Europe's Sahara. Colourful birds called bee-eaters have settled on a rocky slope - a whole, noisy colony of them. They make their nests in caves which they dig themselves in the ground, and the inaccessible location means it is difficult for enemies to reach them. The more frequently the male brings the female insects it has caught, the more powerful is the bond between them later.
For many people, Sardinia is THE Mediterranean dream island: clichés like crystal-clear water and picturesque coastlines are reality here. Wild horses inhabit the vast unpopulated plateaux of Gesturi. In the adjacent high regions lies the kingdom of the imposing Mouflon. The curved horns of the male come in handy when battling over the females during rutting season. A breathtaking underwater world is hidden beneath the crystal clear water surrounding the island. Colourful fish, corals and sea snails live down here - as well as the basking shark! He can grow up to ten metres long, but he's completely harmless: with his huge mouth he only fishes microorganisms from the water. Sicily, off the coast at the tip of Italy's ‘boot', is the largest island in the Mediterranean. The island's most famous landmark is already visible from far-off: Etna, at 3340 metres the highest active volcano in Europe. Only 40 kilometres away another volcano looms high: Stromboli, which lies in the middle of the sea. It spews lava and fire at virtually minute intervals. From ancient times on, humans have feared the volcanoes of south Italy. Even today, there are 2500 year-old temple grounds still standing on Sicily. These days nature is re-claiming the age-old buildings – Mason bees and lizards inhabit the cracks and crevices, while lush flower meadows surround the ancient pillars. Abruzzo, lying level with Rome, is the wild heart of southern Italy. The rugged, uninhabited mountain world with its unspoilt beech forests make Abruzzo something special: this is Italy from its unfamiliar side!
