Local scientists and passionate conservationists are tracking tiny, unsung heroes like the fierce red squirrel, the resilient pygmy rabbit, the harlequin duck, and the American white pelican to see how the landscape is coping. This is a story about the true cost of loving nature to death, and how human communities can actively learn from the wildlife around them to ensure this glorious landscape remains intact for generations to come.

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.

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.
