About Rare Dinosaur Fossil Site Exposed Deep In Canada's Wilderness

Deep in the heart of Canada’s rugged wilderness, teams of palaeontologists face extreme weather, dangerous wildlife, and racing clocks to pull ancient giants out of the ground. In Dinosaur Provincial Park, Dr. Philip Curry guides young fossil hunters on a mission to trace 75-million-year-old predators and solve a century-old mystery involving a lost armored dinosaur skull. Meanwhile, in the remote forests of British Columbia, a husband and wife team prepares for the most nerve-wracking operation of their careers: airlifting a five-ton Hadrosaur fossil using a massive cargo helicopter. From treacherous cliffs in bear territory to sudden flash floods threatening exposed bones, witness the high-stakes reality of modern fossil hunting as scientists bring prehistoric monsters back to life.

CONGO: Protecting The Home of The Gorillas

Deep in the northern region of the Republic of the Congo lies a vast tropical rainforest that holds a surprising secret about modern wildlife conservation. While many believe that national parks are the only safe havens for critically endangered species, this documentary reveals why a staggering 70,000 western lowland gorillas are thriving inside a commercial logging territory. This is the story of a unique pact between humans and nature. At the same time, the film addresses the harsh realities facing the Congo Basin. Armed rangers wage a constant battle against the illegal bushmeat market and high-value elephant poaching networks, while local villages face devastating crop raids by forest elephants. From traditional Baka pygmy communities using ancient medicine trees to modern towns built on sustainable timber jobs, this footage highlights the delicate balance between economic survival and protecting the world's second-largest rainforest.
