Nature Highlights

Mike Bird, an underground miner, tells you about the destruction of the Wyoming range by oil companies.

Coral reefs are a precious habitat that need to be protected. In this episode, Jonas heads to SE asia to try and explain this amazing biome.

The Flying Dustbin is the success story of the Fulmar, a seabird which numbers 500,000 pairs in the UK but was virtually unknown as a breeding species at the turn of the last century. The film documents the reasons for its success, but is also a warning. The Fulmar faces some very serious modern problems, 9 out of 10 Fulmars in the North Sea have plastic in their stomachs whilst global warming is diminishing its natural prey stocks, leading to breeding failures.

Ants may be tiny, but they play a huge role in their ecosystems. In fact, biologists estimate that the collective weight of all the ants on Earth is equal to the weight of all humans. In this talk, Dr. Brian Fisher what a taxonomist is and talks about his trip to Madagascar to discover more about ants and the ecosystem.

How will the coral reefs, monk seals, native plants, and honeycreepers of Hawaii deal with climate change? Local researchers working in the island chain's stunning national parks tell us their concerns for wildlife, key habitats, and cultural resources.

Jonas Stenstrom travels to Borneo to help explain not only the Mangrove estuary but to explain what makes all estuaries special.

Amphibians are indicator species. Because of their sensitive permeable skin, scientists use amphibians to gauge the overall health of the worldwide ecosystem that we all share. So with nearly half of the world's amphibian populations in decline, we're all potentially in big trouble. But there are simple things you can start doing today to help.

The intertidal zone is the area of land between high and low tides.

Examining the sublime landscapes of North Cascade, Mount Rainier, and Olympic National Parks, researchers shed light on emerging indications that climate change is real and predict how warming temperatures will affect the natural resources and timeless beauty of the region. As glaciers melt and the winter snow-pack decreases, what is the fate of the aquatic ecosystems and cold water fish that depend on runoff during the hottest and driest parts of the year?

Sometimes, unexpected guests can very quickly become pests. But what happens when you ask them to leave? Join the Red Queen and Alice on live action, animated journey down the rabbit hole, as they are caught in an evolutionary arms war between parasite and host. Science films often portray their content in a very pedestrian way. This one set out to challenge this approach by presenting a theory about parasite/host co-evolution (by Matt Ridley) using Lewis Carrol's Alice.
