- Human pollution is increasing worldwide. The overexploitation of nature is endangering biodiversity and plastics and chemicals are destroying many of humanity's nature-based livelihoods. But there is hope.
The UK is not exactly known for its stringent environmental policy and following Brexit, many fear that standards are likely to deteriorate. But the UK is also home to coastal regions and islands characterized by wild beauty -- and breathtaking diversity.
The documentary takes us through some of the most remote landscapes of the country, from the Shetland Islands to Cornwall, the Hebrides and many other areas. In each location, the film shows the amazing biodiversity of fauna and flora present.
The Pembrokeshire Coast National Park in Wales is known for large breeding colonies of many seabird species. Few people live on the Hebrides, located off Scotland. These wild islands are still a natural paradise of rocks, sand and moor. As such, they are biotopes for exotic species such as puffins and guillemots.
In this cinematic journey to the most beautiful natural sites in Britain, viewers meet the people who are trying to protect species threatened by extinction by preserving their habitats. It is a story of hope, one that indicates that a change in people's thinking is taking place.

It's heartbreaking how humans have destroyed almost everything in nature both in oceans and on the land especially those few who exploit it for commercial gains but majority suffer consequences of interfering and or harming biodiversity .

Joe the Beaver man is fine 😅
And his work divine ❤
Cuánta belleza 😍
The sooner you help it the better and faster it will recover!!
Dreaming of a day when a "Society for the Protection of Humans" is established and works effectively...!!!
Love Nature!
How much emissions do all the tourists create that come to see the birds? If you count that in, is it a net positive or not?
I guess they are not arriving in super yachts.
And I suppose they are leaving with a much more progressive view of all kinds of negative impacts from humans.
@@folkeholmberg3519 Many if not most of them are probably flying there which is a large emission source. Total waste, if they wanted to see birds and cared about the environment, why don't they watch some documentary on tv and save the planet?
I love environmental ecosystem. Most media never focused on our mother Earth is damaging
It was absolutely breath taking to see the efforts being taken to protect our fragile planet.
Thank you good hurt grate peoples for you efforts saving envierment .And thank you DW.
i have no phd , i have no Bachelor's degree , i didnt even finished high school , i got a Equivalency Diploma , but one thing i will never have is hope , hope is the worst thing we will ever have , we do not need hope , what we must do is make it happen , hope will destroy our world . wishing and hoping will never get any thing done .
DEAR, DEAR, friend and ally, I used to work on ships in Alaska on a Catcher Processor as a Able Bodied seamen. In Alaska on the ship I operated the cranes and we would get these 3 Baldheaded Eagles sitting side by side waiting for their meal om my crane/ his crane, a hundred feet in the air. GO NATURE.
I like this kind of documentary, but I can't forget the facts: the volume of household waste collected by local authorities in England amounted to 23.7 million metric tons in the 2021/2022 financial year; in 2022 concentrations of air pollution in UK increased 4% from 2021 reaching 65.1 µg/m3 which is the highest value in the time series and rural background ozone pollution has shown no clear long-term trend.
Artificially cutting reality to make beautiful nature documentaries is part of the problem. This creates the impression that nothing needs to be done because all is well in the best of all worlds.
As A UK citizen I can say that this is a time to despair , our privatised water companies have been pumping raw sewage into our lakes , rivers and seas at an unpressdented rate whilst paying their shareholders millions of £ in bonuses !
Does anyone know the 7 laws of nature?
NO. Please tell us.
A fantastic documentary,
But why not made by the
BBC 🤔 ?
Oh I forgot, they are busy
informing about the sewage
poisoning allmost all waters
of the UK.
🙄
I watched this video thoroughly and enjoyed sea life very well. so as resident of this planet it is the responsibility of everyone to protect and sustain biodiversity on earth
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!
As a Canadian, I know
It was not an arbitrary decision for our country to choose the beaver over the grizzly bear, the polar bear, the arctic wolves, the timber wolves, the mighty moose, and even the wolverine. You have to pause and wonder what it is about a beaver that made us go with it instead of any of the others. Well just start reading about beavers and they’ll blow your mind.
Also, did you know that the sound a baby beaver makes is indistinguishable from the sound a human baby makes?
I swear, once you hear it, you will love it forever ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
First beaver thinks.
“Oh my goodness.
Would you look look at the state of this place? Tch tch tch.
Welp better get busy. Those streams aren’t going to Dam Themselves!!!”
Great show btw.
I’m a longtime subber

A Nature Depleted Place Is A Hell Where The Devil's Dwell 😬👁️
This documentary is a lot more hopeful than the political or religious documentaries full of division and hate.
Your new King Charly will fix it all...
😁👑👍
I can't believe there are kings and queens nowadays,
That is something you must have got from the
fairytales

😂😂😂
@@folkeholmberg3519 well, besides the Beefeaters and the Guards with the big - bearskin - hats, not much else to show for the tourist trade. So, they make money with what they have?
We could see in this remarkable documentary that only a handful of people (!!!) can make vast changes and turn the overfished, depleted areas into rich and regenerated ones in only a couple of years.
While it is very reassuring I only wonder WHY these kind of protective acts are NOT the most important for the policy makers, governments and irrationally rich billionaires for years now?!
It was good to see that in the UK they were able to reconstruct the natural swamp like habitats as a result of building an underground's line (if I remember well) It must have been a political effort which is good.
Yet I really do think that nature preservation and thinking of alternatives how to grow plants and provide/produce locally for locals should be the number one priority which is not.
I can still buy my clothes from cheap chain stores (like h&m and the rest) produced in Bangladesh or some place like that. And I live in Europe. I dont need my clothes to be produced there. In fact I could make my own clothes Im very sure.
Life should have been slowed down by the force of political power but instead it became even faster.
Watching this documentary it is disturbing to see how easy it would be !!!! to turn things back into their natural way of functioning yet the future of the world highly depends on tyrannical leaders of all kind who considers war industry, oil and coal industry, mass production and occupying territories their ultimate goals.
It could easily be that in the future most of Europe will do some effort and could regenerate or preserve nature but in other parts of the world I have no idea what would happen and how it would influence the future of the whole Earth.
Nevertheless it was good to see that in England there are good examples:).
YES with effort it can be done... so private companies can exploit nature again YAAY!!! :(
Where do the seeds for micro greens and other hydroponic crops come from? No one ever factors that into the lifecycle or sustainability of hydroponics. It’s also not very scaleable regardless of the eco modernist hopes. Degrowth is our only chance my friends.
they said the last [white tailed eagle (hawk?) ] was shot which would mean they went extinct. Then he said he saw the first one to fledge in 70something years. Is this all made up?
I love wildlife documentaries very much and they’re the only content I’ll even watch when I’m using this site and a few other online sources and certain channels on tv as well .. but unfortunately, having misophonia makes it difficult even more , when hearing certain voices and mannerisms from people where I cannot help how my brain will react to stimuli of said nature , but the woman trying to narrate this is just not appealing to listen to at all. She doesn’t have any qualities of what I’d deem suited for delivering the narrative … I wish more of especially the major networks that produce many wildlife documentaries would stick to decent sounding narrators who have some broadcasting experience and a voice and mannerisms for it .., not everyone is suited for such work & it irritates me whenever it’s always the same typical bland or harsh or abrasive or monotonous sounding British person thinking they’re coming off so refined or edgy or whatever else. I do not like to hear certain narrators in videos of American production either , when they ever consist of anyone trying to mimic that annoying so called block buster film announcer introduction voice , like that man that say “ in a worlddddddd where “ in so many films ads, where it’s alwyss some gritty dramatic drawn out sort of voice either … But the way many of these British people speak in these many wildlife documentaries these days is annoying , boring , never authentic or natural feeling … whatever happened to Received Pronunciation ?? At least that sounds decent. Anyway , her voice and certain things in her cadence / lifts falls or mannerisms and timing that Just irritate me
To have to sit through. There’s some
Of tne major networks that I just wish would use much better options for
Delivering the script. Can’t put in words the exact way I’d prefer to describe that , but it’s not to be rude or anything. I have misophonia and it isn’t something I can just turn on or off in terms of how my brain responds to such noises or behaviors etc. anyway, maybe I’ll end up watching to entirety later , just not feeling it right now.
And at least I do enjoy to view these type documentaries, though …. I never like how many of the channels on this site only ever take existing content rightfully owned by the actual major networks that have produced / copyrighted and are the only ones with the rights to even allow their content to be viewed and just act as if it’s their actual content or as if they had anything to do with any of the films
They steal and plaster on here with no permission , where they’ll change titles and make up these phony trying to come off like they’re connected or affiliated with the actual legit people who really do have anything to do with the production or any ownership of ssid films that those channels steal and try to deceptively make viewers think belong to them, but I hope for
Tnis Channel at least , that they don’t become like so many of the 98% of other channels on here that post wildlife documentaries , where those people are selfish deceptive and dishonest and try and selfishly profit off exploiting every bit of content they wrongly steal and try and lie to everyone to make themselves somehow come off like they’re important or
Such big deal … I have no issues when channels post any documentaries of wildlife , I enjoy the content. I just only have issue with those channels that want to lie and act like videos that do not belong to them tnst they have to dishonestly lie about are in any way belonging
To them whatsoever. So anyway , I hope to enjoy more and would happily view content on this channel in the future , even if it’s other entities content , I just get annoyed when Channels profit and exploit and Lie… but anyway .. maybe I’ll come back to this One later. I just despise her speaking mannerisms. Can’t help it. Sorry !
What keeps an eagle from taking a toddler ? They take lambs , so why not a toddler . .
Under perfect conditions, an eagle can carry a little over 100% of its own weight. A golden eagle averages 4.18 kg (9.2 lb) in weight.
My cat weighs 15 pounds, so eagles aren't a worry for him. 😸
Because human babies are too heavy and allways covered in lots of clothes.
And also, I presume, babies are kept under strict serviliance.
@@folkeholmberg3519 Also, children are generally accompanied by adults - not left in an open area with other unguarded infants.
Humans are filthy animals protected by disposable diapers. It takes roughly 500 years to brake them down in nature....
The music ruins this video
he came here with a very good friend in the 80s, but then got a gf and a wife… it’s giving Scottish brokeback mtn
Not even britain is safe from great britain lol
After all it's GODs Creation
Lets do a swap.
Ireland 🇮🇪 is not a British Isle/Island. This is an outdated Imperialistic and Possesive term that is not recognised by the Irish Government nor by the Majority of Irish people living in Ireland.
It will be close to 500 dead
Świetnie. Jak już przywrócicie na wyspach brytyjskich bioróżnorodność gatunków jaka tu żyła pierwotnie, przynajmniej w 50%, lasów, gatunków roślin i zwierząt, to wtedy możecie zacząć pouczać takie kraje jak Brazylia za wycinanie lasów. Póki co wasze wyspy są wygolone prawie do zera z lasów, prawie nic tam nie żyje, a brak lasów zwiększa nagrzanie planety i to TO jest główny powód ogrzewania klimatu a nie CO2 (pomijając działanie Słońca).

I hate when a f-ing documentary doesnt use the metric system...
Like seriously, its a documentry why are you using hands and feets as mesurement...
Not to mention its not even american channel!
I think they do it to trigger fussy, snotty hipsters. Mission accomplished! 😸
@@joa8227 How about i dont? You monkies need to learn to use proper measurements.
@@TheStockwell Ha ha ha ha , good answer ! I am used to the metric system and notice that more & more American and English documentaries do their best to use the both measurements .
That's a shame not getting the point of a documentary... Being only 1/32 " away from getting the full picture if it weren't for being distracted of measurements not being metric.
@@abcdef-qk6jf I stopped watching, when i saw them giving mesurement in caveman style without any conversion. The least you can do is give a translation. If you wanna get a point across try making it in the system that most people uses next time.
Doesn’t Great Britain take in more that half a million immigrants a year? That can’t help
