Villsvinenes comeback
This documentary explores the comeback of the wild boar, once hindered by the Iron Curtain but now thriving due to easy food sources in Western Europe. It depicts the boar's intelligence and adaptability, foraging in Alpine foothills while avoiding hunters. Despite being considered a modern plague by some, it reveals the boar as a cute and intelligent survivor.
Wild Boar: The Comeback
Denne dokumentaren utforsker økningen av villsvinbestanden som tidligere ble hindret av Jernteppet, men som nå øker kraftig på grunn av gode matkilder i Vest-Europa. Den skildrer villsvinets intelligens og tilpasningsevne. Den beiter ved foten av fjellene mens den unngår jegere. De betraktes som en moderne plage av noen, men filmen gir inntrykk av at villsvinet er en søt og intelligent overlever.
Forest of Fantasies
On Christmas Eve, they say, the animals can talk. Peter Rosegger, one of Austria's greatest writers, turned this legend into a magical short story about his own country childhood in Styria's Alpine uplands. It's one of Austria's most fascinating landscapes: deep, dark forests flanked by steep mountain ridges, gentle meadows reaching up to exposed summits: in limitless shades of just one color.
Engadin - Switzerland's Wilderness
It sounds like yesterday: "Unless we take action, industry and tourism will wipe out the last traces of nature in our country" - But it was a hundred years ago, when a group of Swiss champions of Nature created Engadin National Park, the Alps' very first wildlife reserve.
When Nature Strikes Back: Landslides
Mountains are created by gigantic forces beneath the Earth's surface. However, while they are still growing from below, their surface weathers away and they begin to disintegrate. Then comes the fateful day, however, on which the inner stability of a mound is disturbed, and gigantic masses of debris and mud careen downhill: These peaceful mounds then become deadly landslides.
