Amazon River Islands: The Floating Forest

Amazon River Islands: The Floating Forest

The Anavilhanas and Mariua archipelagos are deep in the heart of the Amazon rainforest. Flooded for 6 months of the year, the islands are a fortress of submerged trees and wandering vines, and home to some of the most unusual creatures in the world. / Vancouver island is the largest island off the west coast of North America. Glaciers fuel the flow of some of Canada's tallest waterfalls, and an endless network of rivers and creeks provides the ideal habitat for the pacific salmon.

Episode 1

Episode 1

In this episode of the documentary series Andreas Kieling reports from the Amazon basin, Siberia, South Africa, the mountains of western China and the Eiffel region back home in Germany. 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.

Wild Berlin

Wild Berlin

Berlin has a natural wild side - a fascinating parallel world of wildlife wonders great and small, right on the doorstep. For every human inhabitant of Berlin there are at least two birds, and nowhere else are so many sparrows and nightingales to be found as in Germany's capital. Swarms of bees harvest the honey from the city's almost half a million trees, while badgers can be found scurrying across courtyards and praying mantises await their prey in strips of railway land. The metropolis of Berlin is an urban jungle, providing a habitat for thousands of racoons, foxes, bats, squirrels, hedgehogs and beavers - Berlin is wild in more ways than one.
