About The Great Wild Indoors

Step into the hidden ecosystem that exists within everyday houses, where spiders, centipedes, beetles, flies, silverfish, and countless other tiny creatures battle for survival right under our noses. While we spend nearly 90% of our lives indoors, an entire world of predators, prey, and remarkable adaptations thrives in the shadows. Join a team of expert entomologists and biologists as they transform a family home into a living laboratory, uncovering over 100 different species of arthropods and revealing the fascinating secrets of the "indoor biome." From lightning-fast house centipedes and stealthy spiders to pantry beetles, clothes moths, and the incredible evolution of cockroaches, every room becomes a unique habitat with its own wildlife. Discover the extraordinary lives of the tiny creatures that share our homes—and see why the greatest adventures can happen just beyond the walls we think we know.

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.
