Using an integrated interdisciplinary approach combining the natural and the social sciences, these videos look at the relationships between living beings and their environments. The work of botanists, biologists, geologists, and demographers is used to examine the realities of ecological concerns in the framework of political realities. From the tops of the Himalayas to the bottom of the sea, from empty deserts to overcrowded cities, these videos show life where it thrives and where it has died out. Based on UNESCO’s ground-breaking Man and the Biosphere Program, they illustrate the problems and concerns of preserving life, including human life, on Earth, and demonstrate numerous environmental projects that have successfully met the needs of both humankind and nature. 12-part series, 28 minutes each.
