Is The Shark Population Under Threat? | The Blue Realm

There's no doubt sharks have an image problem. And they're certainly in trouble globally. The population of some species has declined by more than 90% due to overfishing. But there's still one place in the world where sharks thrive - the Bahamas. Sharks not only prosper there, they are highly protected. It's one of the few places in the world where killing a shark is illegal. Content licensed by Cana Media to Little Dot Studios.

Wild Switzerland: Saving The Alpine Meadows

High in the Swiss Alps, a centuries-old way of life keeps one of the most famous natural landscapes intact. The species-rich mountain meadows of Grisons are not untouched wilderness, but a fragile man-made ecosystem shaped by generations of high-altitude livestock grazing. Without summering sheep and goats, dense forests and invasive alder shrubs would quickly erase this vibrant habitat. Today, traditional mountain farming faces unprecedented pressures. Fewer young locals take on the intense solitude of herding, forcing Swiss farms to rely on migrant shepherds living months at a time 2,000 meters above sea level. From grueling multi-day cattle drives up vertical rock faces to clever zero-waste wool initiatives, this story follows the dedicated people and animals working to save Switzerland's iconic alpine pastures. Experience the harsh beauty, ancient farming traditions, and massive conservation efforts keeping this high-altitude landscape alive.
