Traveling aboard the flying globe that Maestro himself has invented, the young environmentalists set out to see the situation in other parts of the world up close.

Maestro shows what can happen at conferences on the environment, where the blame is passed from person to person and little is resolved. But he also sees the necessity of paying attention to such issues, and encourages the kids to continue with their own plans to promote change.

Maestro listens as the kids tell him about all the things they see going wrong in the world, their fears, and their frustration that so little is being done. He wants to know if they have any solutions.

The group is concerned about global and environmental issues. They want to take action, but must find a base to work from. Meanwhile, off the coast of Brittany, a new environmental disaster is occurring...

John talks about the importance of the city park, no matter how small, in the modern world. He enjoys the open space, fresh air, and sun on his face. He also likes the changing seasons, which mark the passing of time.

We continue to explore the phenomenon of hurricanes. Why are they so dangerous? And do they serve any purpose?

In recent years, we've seen an increase in the intensity of tropical storms and hurricanes due to global warming. But how and why do hurricanes form? Sigrid provides a basic explanation of this phenomenon.

This Yabla news broadcast features stories about two different kinds of animals, one enormous and one tiny. Sometimes we can predict how animals will behave, and sometimes not.

In the coastal town of Laguna, Brazil, a strong bond has formed between wild dolphins and local fishermen over generations. The dolphins herd schools of fish towards the shoreline and then give distinct signals telling the fishermen when to cast their nets.

At a privately-owned wildlife park in South Africa, Or Lazmi has integrated herself into a group of four lions. Having known her since they were cubs, the lions treat her as a dominant figure and allow her to get extremely close.

Merve feels lucky to live in Kamloops, a small city in southwest Canada, and you can see why! It’s a beautiful place, surrounded by wilderness on all sides. Merve tells us about the area's mountains, grasslands, rivers and lakes, the gold rush of the late 19th century, and its wealth of fascinating wildlife.

A century ago, the golden eagle was a rare sight in the Alps and was on the verge of extinction. Nowadays, this bird of prey is better understood and protected and there are some one hundred and fifty birds just in the Karwendal and Northern Tyrol. Our young eagle makes his first kill, and soon his life will change as he must seek out his own hunting territory, alone in this mountain paradise.

Eagle expert Andreas Mayrhofer climbs down to the empty eagle nest, where he will collect evidence of the eagles’ diet and habits. Autumn has arrived, spreading its mellow colors across the Alps. But this is no time to relax, and the eagles’ prey must be ever watchful. An escaped rabbit catches the eye of a hungry eagle.

Biker’s chick is strong enough, but lacks the courage to fly the nest. She must use food to tempt it into flight. The nest will then be empty, and other species can make use of its strength and secure position to raise their broods.

In late summer, the ibex are feeding in the high pastures, preparing for the winter ahead. The young males jostle and clash horns, testing their strength in a series of energetic show fights. As night falls, we catch glimpses of the powerful red deer, and Biker the eagle takes flight in an effort to coax her chick into the air.

Things are calmer now in the Alps than two and a half million years ago, when the collision of two great continental plates forced them skywards. But even the splendid summer flowers, which bloom briefly in the high pastures, must be able to withstand a sudden outbreak of winter, cold mountain winds and a flurry of snow.

In a nearby nest, another pair of eagles have managed to raise two young. But with survival at stake, the younger chick must fend off a vicious assault from its older sibling. Eagle-owls are also nesting on the mountainside. Ducks, hares, rats, hedgehogs, and even ravens make up the diet of these fierce nighttime hunters.

Can planet Earth survive? Can we survive as a species? Changes in population growth could be a key factor to allowing us to prosper and live in harmony with nature once again.

The eagle chick is growing fast and the need for food is constant. The eagles' perfect prey is the marmot, or “groundhog,” whose large fat reserves make it a tasty and nourishing meal. But these cute little mammals are watchful and wary, and have no intention of being on the eagles’ menu today!

Today, planet Earth is in a new era, the Anthroprocene. Humankind has harnessed and exploited Earth’s resources, changing its surface, devastating populations of wild animals, cutting down trillions of trees and leaving very little of what was “wild.” The enormous loss of biodiversity is not sustainable. How can we create a future in which both people and nature can thrive?

Before the global pandemic, activist Alison Teal set off to London to inspire students with her new book Alison's Adventures: Your Passport to the World. While she was there, she worked with local charities to clean up the Thames River!

Many of the world’s glaciers are melting away at an alarming rate due to the effects of global warming. There is little left to show of the once great alpine glacier, The Pasterze, that used to stretch for five kilometres on the slopes of the Grossglockner, Austria’s highest peak. But life goes in the Alps: An eagle chick is hatching from its egg. Small and vulnerable, it will depend entirely on its parents as it begins to grow and investigate its new environment.

As the last of the winter snow melts, fresh mountain meadows are once again revealed, and the animals take their chance to feed. Glacial meltwater flows into torrents, forming streams and rivers. Brightened by rich sediment, they transport vast quantities of gravel downstream, carving new landscapes in their wake.

As spring arrives in the mountains, the first flowers appear with the sun, and the chamois descend the slopes in search of the first few blades of fresh grass. The ravens are feeding a brood of noisy youngsters, and, high up on an unapproachable crag, Biker the eagle sits on her nest.
