Back from the Brink, Episode one billing
Our planet is paying the price for generations of environmental mismanagement, but in this new series Derek Mooney goes on a journey across Europe, to find out how smart human intervention can bring Europe’s wildlife ‘Back from the Brink’.
The rate of destruction and species loss has dramatically shot up since the industrial revolution, and the past 50 years have seen astonishingly rapid and catastrophic change.
But are things changing for the better?
In Ireland we’ll see how Irish famers are helping to save the majestic and iconic Barn Owl.
In Sweden, Europe’s largest land mammal, the Bison, beings its journey from captivity to freedom, while in Romania, people are coming face to face with bears who no longer hibernate because of warmer winters.
And in Spain we’ll see how ancient water ditches from the time of the Moors are becoming part of the solution to a water crisis in Granada.
We are going to take you on a journey across Europe to meet some of the ordinary people who are doing extraordinary conservation work to bring Europe’s wildlife ‘Back from The Brink’.
