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.

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.
