Nature's Survivors

Nature's Survivors

Every year, the Earth is hit by cyclones, earthquakes, volcanoes and floods. These events make the headlines, with alarming human death toll numbers. But what about animals? This one-hour special explores how animals cope with natural disasters – before, during and after the events themselves. Animals have gone to great lengths to make the most out of some very perilous predicaments, and future climate change could force them to make even more changes in order to survive.

South East Asia offers mysterious old cultures, steaming cook-shops, exotic plants and animals, and monks deep in prayer. A journey through this area reveals everything that life has to offer. We visit Myanmar, where tourism is still in its infancy and undisturbed temples and nature are sights to behold. Then, in Cambodia we find the mysterious temples of Angkor. And finally, we head over to Vietnam to enjoy the beaches, rivers, and Buddhist pagodas.

The Great Gobi Nationalpark in the southwest of Mongolia is home oft he most fascinationg mammals alive: the wild camels. The arcaic desert, impenetrable and misterious, ist he home of approximately 800 wild camels which are nearly extinct. The Gobi is one of the most sparsely populated areas around the world. We experience humans which live in the rough and misanthropic desert: Jangaa who breeds camels and specialises in camel polo Surendjav who owns a salt mine Erdene who built an oasis in the middle of the dessert.

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. Tuan, a biologist and specialist for bears, explores the untouched regions of the nationalpark to find the black bear. The animals which are hunted the most are Pangolins. 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.

Deltas of the World

Deltas of the World

The journey leads through one of the most fascinating delta landscapes in the world. Starting in the untouched jungle of the Tumucumaque in the north of the Amazon delta, the journey continues south by boat across the 30 kilometre wide river to the Ilha de Maraj. The largest river island in the world, as large as Switzerland, is surrounded by wide beaches, mangrove forests and floodplain forests. On the island untouched jungle and wet savannah characterise the land. Fishermen and aai farmers live from the fruits of nature on the edge of the numerous river veins and flood plains and the collection of medicinal plants serves here, far away from civilization, as a living for the people. On the south side of the delta in the city of Belem we explore the exotic world of the famous Ver-o-Peso market with its impressive variety of fish, tropical fruits, spices and medicinal herbs.

The Irrawaddy Delta in southern Myanmar is home to the most diverse mangrove forests in the world. The forests serve as natural protection against cyclones that regularly strike the region. The Irrawaddy's widely branching tributaries not only provide schools of fish and rich nutrients, but also function as the most important transport route for the people living in the delta. The greengrocer couple U Tin Hlaing and Daw Khin Lay supply the villages downstream with their fresh produce. But they do not go any further than the Meinmahla Kyun Wildlife Sanctuary. From that point on, the river becomes increasingly turbulent, too dangerous for their small, flat boat. The sanctuary is home to a variety of animal species including the rare Irrawaddy dolphins, saltwater crocodiles, birds of prey such as black kites and brahminy kites, migratory birds such as spoon-billed sandpipers, woodcocks, great cormorants and various anatids. Ranger Lha Soe Win and his colleagues regularly patrol the nature reserve to monitor the animal population and make sure the mangroves are no longer illegally logged for firewood. Since the 1970s, the mangrove population has declined by more than 60 percent, with dramatic consequences for the inhabitants of the delta. Cyclone Nargis, the most devastating cyclone to date, claimed the lives of around 130,000 Burmese in 2008. Together with scientists from the conservation charity Flora and Fauna International, the rangers are working on reforesting the mangroves to restore their function as a natural barrier in the future.
