Deltas of the World

Deltas of the World

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?

Hardly any other area is as unspoiled as the Yukon Delta in western Alaska. This fascinating network of swamps and river arms looks like a landscape at the beginning of mankind. Only 25,000 people live in this barren region, which is almost as big as Greece. Most of these inhabitants are indigenous and belong to the ethnic group of the Yupik. They make their living on the steep banks of the Yukon River. And in their villages, built on piles to protect them against flooding, you can see the effects of climate changes on nature - and on the community life of the indigenous population. On the trail of the national fish of Alaska, the salmon, the film follows the Yukon River and follows moose hunters, migratory birds and scientists who do research in the delta.
