The jungle in the north of Vietnam is nearly impenetrable and there are parts where no human has ever set foot on before. The rainforest oft he Pu Mat Nationalpark is a retreat for threatened animals like the Asian black bear, pangonlins or rare species of monkeys.

It is believed that their scale has healing power and their meat is considered a delicacy. A small vietnamese animal protection organisation fights for the suvival of this species.

South of Barcelona lies the Ebro Delta. Its beaches and lagoons are an exceptional refuge for migratory and native bird species. The delta is known for the numerous pink flamingos that nest near the glittering white saltworks. Sea salt is extracted and rice is cultivated in the delta. The impressive lake landscape is endangered to a certain extent by human intervention. For fear of their harvest, some rice farmers take action against flocks of birds. Invasive rice pests are also a threat to farmers in Europe's largest rice growing region. Other problems make the situation more difficult, such as climate change and rising sea levels or dams holding back sediments. What can be done to preserve the unique Ebro Delta?
