From Sardinia to Abruzzo

From Sardinia to Abruzzo

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! The inaccessible slopes are the territory of the extremely rare Apennine chamois. During rutting, the bucks engage in breakneck chases among the rocks.

Rivers and Lakes

Rivers and Lakes

Water is the beginning of all life - including the wildlife of Germany. Beavers fell trees, otters play under water, kingfishers catch fish for their young. Lakes and rivers cover just 2.5% of the total area of the country. The episode Rivers and Lakes takes the viewer on a journey through the water world of Germany. In winter, the few ice-free surfaces are popular with waterfowl. Coots throng the source ponds of the River Havel, while above them white-tailed eagles gather for the hunt, as their prey swim openly beneath them. The coots stick together, swimming to and fro to make it difficult for the eagles to pick out one individual bird. But with each attack, the coots grow increasingly tired. In Spring, the ice melts and the lakes and rivers awake from their winter torpor. Germany has more than 800 rivers longer than 10km. They transport the life-giving liquid into all corners of the country. The water of the River Danube alone would be enough to fill Germany's biggest body of water, Lake Constance, in 12 months. Every year, six times the volume of the lake falls in the form of precipitation: 800 litres per square metre. Otters and beavers had a very hard time in recent centuries. They were hunted mercilessly for their fur and eaten in periods of fasting. Today, both species are protected and their populations are recovering.

Galapagos: Darwins Eden

Galapagos: Darwins Eden

The Galapagos archipelago contains 13 main islands and a hundred or so smaller rocks and reefs. The region's wilderness is so pristine and rich in life it altered our entire view of the natural world. / Lying like a teardrop in the Indian Ocean, Sri Lanka is an island that defies convention. Poised just six degrees above the equator, it's less than 75,000 km sq in size. But it has enough wildlife to rival a continent.
