- Madagascar. The world's oldest island. To a young and enthusiastic ecologist, this is a land of wonders, where life exists like nowhere else on the planet. But when his search for the world's largest lemur, the Indri Indri, leads him to discover just how close to extinction the species is, he searches for reassurance that all is not lost. Narrated and presented by Andy Clark and featuring an original musical score composed by Peter Baumann, The Evolution of Madagascar explores the origins of life on the island and the threats currently facing its iconic species, addressing the ongoing issues surrounding human development, agriculture and deforestation. Filmed whilst on a conservation expedition across Madagascar, Andy experiences first hand the harsh reality of the evolutionary fight for survival. With the help of conservationists, can we find a way to save it, before it's too late?
- Extreme flooding events in recent years have devastated countless communities throughout the UK, and it is only a matter of time before such destructive waters are seen again. Beyond the immediate loss of livelihood and business, the impacts of these floods have permeated much deeper, affecting communities both physically and psychologically, affecting the relationships between the people most affected and those charged with alleviating the damage. But from amidst this chaos, communities have pulled together more strongly than ever. Opportunities have emerged to find new and innovative solutions to the threat of flooding. These are solutions that have the potential to satisfy every stakeholder, and benefit land and water on every level. Such 'natural' flood risk management techniques are in no way a universal or absolute solution, but their potential for significant contribution to flood pressure alleviation is widely accepted. In a documentary-meets-toolkit, High Water Common Ground follows the communities most affected by flooding, examines the needs of the parties involved and explores some of the most innovative methods of flood risk management using real examples from around the country.
- A hill farmer describes the way his family have traditionally managed their upland farm for generations. But when climate change loomed, they were forced to adapt while staying true to who they were. Could this be the future of peatland conservation and agriculture?
