‘The Last Lion of Liuwa’ is the emotive story of an African wilderness and the last refuge for a solitary Lioness. She is the sole survivor of a senseless massacre that took the rest of her pride. She is a symbol of the Liuwa, a place that challenges all who live here and where adaptation is crucial to survival. Her story is true and she remains the only lion of this very special place.

Once the Iberian lynx thrived across the entire Iberian Peninsula. Now it is classified as critically endangered. At the outset of the third millennium, a sad remnant of some 150 individuals survived in two isolated habitats. They were starved by lack of prey and reduced by epidemics. Now, with breeding stations and a migration corridor, it looks like the Iberian lynx is making a cautious comeback.
The elephant, Asia’s symbol of strength and power, is disappearing. Their numbers are dwindling, their habitat is being literally eaten away and their traditional forest pathways now lead them into danger. Meet Sompast, a mahout, who has set his sights on the enormous task of restoring the balance between man and elephant - to build a sustainable future for both.

Laws of the Lizard is the story of a thirty-year quest to discover the fundamental rules of nature. How are species organised into ecosystems? How do those ecosystems and the species within them change over time? Scientists think there must be a set of unwritten rules that bring order to a complex, chaotic world. Our clearest look into nature’s rulebook comes from an unassuming creature, a six-inch lizard - the anole.

Now, a new community of unusual creatures make their home on the volcanic seabed. Stone fish, piper fish, cuttlefish, snails and mimic octopuses fight for space with the remarkably weird walking fish!
