   Mad Match: Nature’s Strangest Relationships
1 x 60’, 2020, HD
    With unprecedented access, ‘The Last Horns Of Africa’ is a gripping and intimate look at the current rhino poaching war raging across Africa. We follow the journeys of two conservation heroes who put their lives on the line to protect the rhinos in their care, all the while a top-secret, covert operation endeavors to bring down South Africa’s most notorious rhino poaching syndicates. From never before seen footage of South Africa’s largest undercover wildlife investigation and interviews with poachers, the filmmakers risk their lives as they are thrust into the underground world of illicit rhino horn deals organized by South Africa’s ruthless rhino poaching King Pins. This is a first hand look at the complexities and moral debates of contemporary conservation, which has found itself entangled in the dark web of corruption and the illegal wildlife trade.

We have a fascinating and occasionally surreal relationship with animals and plants. This film explores examples of these relationships, areas where humans and the natural world meet in surprising ways! What are we able to learn from nature? How can nature profit from our existence? And who needs who to survive? From lifeforms on and in our bodies to caretakers of nature, a human-nature connection exists throughout our lives and we’ll explore it all in ‘A Natural Affair’.
From desert to jungle, there’s an infinite parade of impossible relationships that defy imagination. Oxpeckers that attach themselves to giraffes and zebras; Aztec ants that defend their host plant against intrusive monkeys; banded mongooses that pick warthogs clean; and fish that hide amongst stinging tentacles. Whether they take advantage of others or live in symbiotic harmony – our planet is filled with every possible type of strange, wild relationship!

It is considered essential, invaluable and worthy of our protection, and yet its impact continues to be underestimated: biodiversity. The term itself is frequently used to describe all manner of things relating to life on our planet - but what does it actually mean? And why do we need it? ‘Nature’s Networks’ allows a totally fresh and epic look on mother nature, from Borneo to Brazil, from Tasmania to Kenya and deep into the Norwegian Fjords. All these habitats and their wild residents are extremely diverse – nevertheless they are all connected. Every creature on our planet has its very own position and functions in the huge community of other species. For much of human history, scientists have examined each species separately, failing to consider the species’ position within the complicated network of life that makes up the planet. But like the many different animals and plants we share our earth with, we humans are what we are as a result of all that surrounds us. ‘Nature’s Networks’ create our fragile and endangered world that is vastly greater than the sum of its parts.
