Cape Cod's Incredible Sea Turtles | Saving Sea Turtles: Preventing Extinction

The Rare Brown Hyenas of Namibia. On the coast of Namibia there's a rare breed of brown Hyena, scarcely studied by humans until Ingrid Wiesel. Rather than feasting on carrion like most hyena species, they hunt for their own prey, killing it themselves. In the inhospitable terrain of the Namibian coast, these unusually furry hyenas must fight for every scrap of food and water that they can get their hands on.

From Glacier Bay To The Katmai Coast And The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Art Wolfe travels across Alaska in search of the most beautiful scenes the animal kingdom has to show. In the freezing cold waters, we see endangered humpback whales and pods of orcas in their natural habitats. On the Katmai Coast we meet the largest population of Grizzly Bears in the entire world. These incredible animals are living on the largest stretch of uninhabited coast in North America, and Art speaks to bear biologists so that we can learn more about them.

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.

In the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa, Addo, there is a very unique herd of Elephants that has been pushed back from the brink of extinction. Due to large amounts of hunting and poaching by the turn of the 20th century, this herd had almost gone extinct, until they were given protected land in Addo Elephant National Park in 1931. The descendants of the few Elephants that survived now live and thrive in this park by the hundreds. Content licensed by TVF International to Little Dot Studios.
