World's Rarest

World's Rarest

The world is facing an urgent biodiversity crisis. Untold numbers of animals are at risk of being lost forever, with many species racing towards extinction. In this show, we try to highlight some of these incredible creatures, from the plucky pangolins to the critically endangered rhinoceroses, who live in constant fear of the poacher's bullet. Films provide a record of Earth's wonderful wildlife, but this is hopefully not an archive of what's lost, but evidence of what we should be preserving.

Indochina three ancient kingdoms, Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia, linked by one great river: the mighty Mekong. A mystical land shaped by the forces of the monsoon.

This is the land of the Mother River, one of the most bio diverse regions on Earth.

Spots and Stripes

Spots and Stripes

Whether spots or stripes, markings can be used for anything from communication to cooling. What look like standout fashion statements to us can help animals vanish completely into a landscape. The design possibilities are endless, and vary to suit the terrain and geography. Whatever their remarkable uses, spots and stripes adorn some of the most iconic animals in the natural world. Camouflage or decoration, we can thank both spots and stripes for handing these creatures their unique and majestic beauty.

The Power of Plants  Race to Grow and Breed

The Power of Plants Race to Grow and Breed

Just like animals, the lives of plants are dominated by the need to become strong and pass on genes to the next generation – a race to grow and breed. They must race to beat their competition to the best light spots, and to make the most of perilously short seasons. And also like in the animal kingdom, different species have developed a near unending list of strategies to ensure their legacy is passed on. Our ideas about plants need a seed change – it's time to respect the power of plants.
