Brazil - Saving the Atlantic Forest
Around the megacities of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, stretching all the way to Argentina, is one of the most species-rich forests on earth: the Atlantic Rainforest. But today only 12 percent of it remains. A wake-up call for environmentalists, farmers and researchers! More than 300 private initiatives want to break the negative trend and are planting trees en masse to restore tropical forests and turn them into species-rich biotopes. With initial success: The return of the imposing tapir and rare monkey species give hope.

The film shows how something that was long thought impossible has been brought about: the return of the tropical forests and their inhabitants.

Germany -An Experiment in Nature
The end of open-cast lignite mining in the Lausitz region of eastern Germany left behind vast areas of wasteland – in which habitats teeming with rare plant and animal species have come into being. Wolves, cranes and sea eagles, as well as insects, amphibians and birds, have taken over the former pits and spoil heaps. Wetlands, heath and forests have become fascinating objects of study for conservationists and biologists.
