South America – a continent of contrast, from the lush, tropical canopies of the Amazon Rainforest, to the harsh, arid slopes of the Andes. We travel to some of the most unspoilt habitats left on Earth to experience the trials and tribulations for three very different species growing up, mating and surviving Wild Latin America.
Abundant as the jungles of the Amazon are, finding love and raising a family can be a challenge and mating strategies are as different as the animals themselves.
In the vast stretches of the Amazon Rainforest thousands of species are pitted against each other – engineered by evolution with ingenious weapons and defenses: speed, stealth, poison, cunning, jaws and ferocious claws – who will be victorious?
Every year, two hundred thousand of Peru’s monkeys are trafficked illegally, almost all of them babies. Isla de los Monos, island of the monkeys, gives victims of the pet trade, legal and illegal hunting a second chance
The Amazon rainforest is the largest rainforest on the planet – a vast natural wonderland that stretches across 1.4 billion acres. It’s home to a staggering array of weird and wonderful creatures – all of which have to compete to survive in one of the most challenging environments on earth. In stunning 4K visual detail, Surviving the Amazon: The Dry Season documents the struggle to survive at the toughest time of year in the Amazon rainforest
The Amazon is the largest rainforest on the planet. Home to over two and a half million species, each uniquely adapted to stay alive in a landscape of lush, tropical jungle. Volatile weather, hungry predators and dangers lurking around every tree trunk, we explore just what it takes to grow-up, hunt, and find love when the odds are stacked against you.
The natural world’s a noisy place, but how and why animals make themselves heard is a complex field that scientists are only beginning to decode.
We think of communication being loud and obvious; body language and vocalisations – animals doing everything they can to be seen and heard – but there is a whole other world of signals that is invisible to us. Animals use colours that we can’t see, and scents too subtle for us to even notice, and yet for their own kind, these cues speak volumes.
Deep in every jungle and desert, on the mountains and plains, animals are in constant conversation with each other – but they’re not using words. Whether their gestures are obvious even to humans, or buried deep within a blizzard of other movements, almost every creature on the planet uses body language to send signals and messages.
How do we go about making films for children fleeing wars and crises? What can such films accomplish? What inspiration can the cinema give these children for their future? Can film work relieve suffering or even provide hope? A group of 7 young filmmakers from Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Germany, Colombia and Iran were selected to tackle these questions.
On a small island deep in the heart of the Colombian rainforest lives a group of squirrel monkeys. Squirrel monkeys are one of the smallest species of new world monkeys and one of the cleverest monkeys in the world. At the head of this island troop is dominant female Alba […]
