On Easter morning, a baby elephant is mysteriously abandoned by her herd in the wilds of Botswana’s Okavango delta.

Flamboyant, noisy and clever – parrots are one of a kind. As their natural habitats are dwindling, these charismatic birds now conquer our world. 70,000 parrots are already making our cities a more colourful place. Furthermore, endangered species are bred under scientific observation and returned to their native habitats, to help boost the wild populations all over our planet.
In this series, we follow the trail of the Transfrontier Parks. We explore why these conservation areas are important and what they protect. Through the eyes of the local communities and the conservation bodies, we follow a trail along the major rivers, mountains and deserts to see what can be achieved if countries work together to conserve a shared heritage.

These same plants, the orchids and the carnivorous plants, still fascinate scientists today. In two episodes, ‘Plants behaving badly’ reveals a world of deceit and treachery worthy of any fictional thriller.
