Parola chiave Biodiversity

David Attenborough e lo scienziato Johan Rockström analizzano il collasso della biodiversità sulla Terra e in che modo questa crisi possa ancora essere evitata.

L’immensa foresta equatoriale del Chocò (situata ai confini tra Ecuador, Colombia e Perù), una delle aree più importanti per la biodiversità del pianeta, è minacciata dallo sfruttamento e dalle monoculture. Itapoa è un progetto autonomo, totalmente indipendente da aiuti governativi e ONG, che da 30 anni sensibilizza, tiene viva l’attenzione e propone soluzioni sostenibili per questo paradiso minacciato.

Isolated since the time of the dinosaurs, New Zealand’s wildlife has been left to its own devices, with surprising consequences. Its ancient forests are still stalked by predators from the Jurassic era. It’s also one of the most geologically active countries on earth. From Kiwis with their giant eggs, to forest-dwelling penguins and helicopter-riding sheep dogs, meet the astonishing creatures and resilient people who must rise to the challenges of their beautiful, dramatic and demanding home.

Australia's biodiversity thrives in the diverse terrestrial and marine habitats that span the country. Lush rainforests offer a refuge for countless plants and animals, while the vast dry eucalyptus woodland is home to numerous specially adapted species. Kangaroos, wallabies and platypuses are just a few of the iconic animals that call Australia home, showcasing the country's evolutionary distinctiveness. Meanwhile, the waters surrounding the country support some of the most spectacular marine biodiversity on the planet. Vibrant coral reefs, seagrass meadows and rocky shorelines contribute to the country's rich marine tapestry. This is a unique world filled with stunning natural beauty, inhabited by some of the most extraordinary and deadly animals on the planet.
