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.

Between Estonia and Finland

Between Estonia and Finland

The Baltic Sea is the youngest ocean in the world and first evolved after the last Ice Age. We think we know everything about it, yet still it has many surprises in store. Wind and waves still shape the shores of the Baltic Sea. The second episode presents a world comprising tens of thousands of islands, between Estonia, Gotland in Sweden and the Finnish Archipelago Sea. In the Autumn on Saaremaa, the largest Estonian island, nasal sounds can be heard from one corner to the next: The mating calls of the Moose. Huge bulls make their way to the traditional rutting areas in the south of the island. The landscape here is stony and riddled with countless bays. In the north, the Panga Cliff, a limestone wall of some 20 metres in height and more than 400 million years old. In the beginning of March, animal filmmaker Christoph Hauschild and his team accompany two seal researchers going about their work. Their destinations are two small islands in the Bay of Riga. A popular spot for grey seals. This is the first time that a film team has been allowed on the island. Just how many animals there are, can first be seen from the air. The beach is packed with young seals. The largest gathering in the Baltic Sea. The absence of pack ice forces the mothers to come here. Global warming has visibly changed the Baltic Sea as far as the Bay of Riga. The winters are simply too hot for the well-insulated young seals. So as not to overheat, they take dips in the cooling water. The underwater camera captures intimate moments and reveals just how playfully the youngsters enjoy the cool water. Just 200 kilometres to the west lies an ancient coral reef, Gotland. The Swedish island is like an ark in the central Baltic Sea. Much of the flora and fauna one otherwise only finds in Southern Europe can be found here on the second largest island in the Baltic Sea. Golden eagles breed here in the trees and in the spring, the ground is covered in orchids. 35 different varieties grow on Gotland.

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.

To the North

To the North

Benny Rebel approaches a big cat in the semi desert with caution. An Asiatic cheetah is like an icon of Iranian nature. The carnivore accepts Benny in its closer environment. The photographer takes breath taking shots. Rewarded in this way Rebel continues his challenging expedition in a high mood. Deep in the desert he manages to come close to the last Wild Ass, so called Onager. The horse like animals are very shy and rare. From his hideouts Benny observes chinkaras, antelopes and impressive horned wild sheep in the mountains. Passing the snow topped Mount Damavand he reaches the green north part of Iran. In the oldest national park Golestan not only massive Marals and wild boars roam. Here also Persian leopards and brown bears crossing their ways. Near the mystical forest of Persia the journey ends at the biggest inland lake of the world: the Caspian Sea. There Benny stalks on the pink flamingoes which gather there for feeding. The number and variety of species and landscapes of Iran is overwhelming but also endangered. On his photo and film expedition Benny Rebel documents the natural resources of Iran - also, to convince the government of his home country to protect their unique treasures of nature and culture.
