Global warming: In Antarctica to observe the consequences of climate change

For centuries the Dutch have tamed the sea with dykes and criss-crossed their country with canals and waterways. But climate change is whipping up storms and raising the sea level. The Netherlands is now seeking a new pact with water in order to protect the low-lying country. They’re making use of state-of-the-art technologies and the power of nature – and are systematically making space for the water elsewhere. ------- Chapters ▷ 00:00 - Introduction ▷ 00:52 - The Dutch and the Sea ▷ 02:31 - Amsterdam Below Sea Level ▷ 06:11 - Battling the Waves with Sand ▷ 07:47 - The Sandmotor Experiment ▷ 11:10 - 1953 Flood Disaster ▷ 12:08 - The Delta Works ▷ 14:03 - Oysters and the Eastern Scheldt ▷ 17:44 - Oyster Reefs as Natural Defenses ▷ 19:32 - Windmills and Polders ▷ 23:06 - Living with the Risk of Floods ▷ 25:33 - Room for the River ▷ 30:17 - Farmers Forced to Adapt ▷ 35:35 - New Landscapes in the Polders ▷ 37:28 - Nature Returns - De Biesbosch Park ▷ 41:37

York Hovest spent three years traveling the world's oceans with his camera & diving equipment, in search of solutions to one of the most pressing challenges of our time: saving the oceans. "Heroes of the Sea" is an encounter with people who are passionately fighting a hard - yet not always promising - battle; people who are striving to save the oceans from growing plastic waste, limitless overfishing and the supposedly unstoppable climate change with visionary ideas. In his award-winning documentary, York Hovest takes us on an adventurous hunt for illegal fishermen off the coast of West Africa and lets us experience first-hand the death grip of giant fishing nets. In Thailand, York introduces us to Andrew Hewett, a Briton who is doing everything he can to save the coral reefs from the effects of global warming and mass tourism. On the beaches of Haiti, buried under meter-high mountains of garbage, Hovest meets David Katz, who has developed a recycling system to combat plastic pollution and poverty at the same time. With his first cinematic work, the National Geographic book

Known as the island of 100 volcanoes, Lanzarote is the easternmost island in the Canary Islands. Volcanic cones are dotted across the island’s dramatic landscape, forged by the struggle between fire and water. Massive Atlantic waves that crash up against the reef formed by the volcanic eruptions in the past make Lanzarote a surfer’s paradise (we interview a famous big wave surfer and a body boarder, and see them in action!). Wind and ash have made the land fertile, yet but extremely difficult to farm, as is evident in the vineyards and biological vegetable farms featured. Eruptions over the centuries destroyed much of the island, leaving an underground labyrinth of lava tubes and secret underwater lakes. The award winning wines cultivated here in a unique agricultural practice show just how resilient both man and nature are. ------- Chapters ▷ 0:00 - Intro ▷ 00:49 - Lanzarote - Land of 100 Volcanoes | In the Shadow of Volcanoes (5/5) ▷ 44:42 - Credits ------- ------- Millions of people around the world live under the shadow of a volcano.

We’re witnessing the comeback of a small river and an entire landscape. For decades the Emscher in the Ruhr District was the most polluted river in Europe. Now it’s being returned from an industrial sewer to a natural river system. With the help of waste water treatment plants, liberated river beds and returning animal species, a unique natural region is blossoming – one with a very special industrial heritage. ------- Chapters ▷ 00:00 - Introduction ▷ 00:58 - The Emscher Becomes a Sewer ▷ 02:11 - A Plan to Restore the River ▷ 05:14 - Mining, Sewage, and Pollution ▷ 07:59 - The Filthiest River in Europe ▷ 09:54 - Fighting for a Cleaner Emscher ▷ 12:10 - Citizens' Protests Begin ▷ 16:06 - Building a New Sewage System ▷ 21:35 - A Rare Fish Returns - The Bullhead ▷ 25:25 - From Steelworks to Lake Phoenix ▷ 29:40 - Nature Comes Back to the Ruhr ▷ 33:12 - The Protected Emscher Bullhead ▷ 35:12 - A Region Reinventing Itself ▷ 37:07 - Flood Protection and Wetlands ▷ 39:02
