ANIMAL EMBASSY
PENGUIN WITH A PAINFUL NECK. The dilemma faced by every 21st Century wildlife park is how to attract and educate the public, while maintaining first class conditions for its inhabitants and leading the way in scientific research and environmental protection. Tucked away in the Canary Islands, one zoo is providing a masterclass in the art. For the past 2 years running, Loro Parque has been voted “The World’s Best Zoo” by subscribers of Trip Advisor, echoing the highest possible accreditations of animal welfare, conservation and environmental bodies across the globe. It is now considered more popular than the prestigious San Diego, Singapore, ZooParc de Beauval, Prague, Chester and St.Louis Zoos. So how has a privately-owned zoo in a Spanish colony off the West coast of Africa earned such recognition? How does it balance the meticulous care and presentation of thousands of species, with the multi-million-dollar research and conservation programs dedicated to saving many of them from extinction? What’s the strategy behind its educational commitment to turning every pleasure-seeking tourist into a die-hard environmentalist? And who manages the harvest of tonnes of organic fruit needed to feed the animals daily? What began 45 years ago with one man’s passion for animals and an obsession with excellence has become a monument to best practice ideals. Boasting leading experts in all branches of zoology, animal handling, nutrition and veterinary science, as well as state of the art facilities and cutting-edge technology, Loro Parque talks the talk and walks the walk. Animal Embassy peels back the layers of Loro Parque to expose its pumping heart: the intimate connections, the scale of operations, the dramas, the discoveries, the camaraderie, the hilarity, the uncompromising attention to detail and the unshakable devotion to animal welfare. Entertaining, inspiring and informative, this series is packed with engaging, returnable characters – both animal and human.

GANNETS: THE WRONG SIDE OF THE RUN
At the tip of Africa two oceans collide, creating one of the most productive eco-systems on the planet. Here, one of the largest shoals of fish known to man form the basis of two food chains that split and extend for 100’s of miles. After the sardines part at Cape Agulhas, each shoal passes it’s own critical point. On the west coast of Africa, this is Malgas Island, a traditionally energetic hub of life dominated by the presence of the supreme sardine hunter, the Cape gannet. On the opposing coast, the shoals pass Bird Island, the eastern equivalent of Malgas. Circumstances on the two bird colonies are very different; on the west we see dwindling numbers of sardine, whilst on the east, Bird Island is the inverse. While the Malgas Gannets battle to raise chicks amid skirmishes by Kelp gulls and hungry seals, the Bird island gannets move to intercept huge volumes of sardines. What transpires is one of the greatest marine feeding events on the planet, and in these two parallel scenarios, we see how one environment is mutating under pressure, while the other experiences a bumper season. Will the gannets of Malgas island adapt to their changing world? Can the disappearing sardine stock survive, and in turn support the wide array of marine predators that rely heavily on it. The breath-taking landscape, action and predation sequences are strengthened by solid natural history behaviour with an environmental comment.

But for most of the population, needs remain unfulfilled.
BOTETI: THE RETURNING RIVER
For 20 years the Boteti River in northern Botswana has not flowed. What was once an expansive and prolific body of water gradually dried up, leaving zebras, hippos, elephants and crocodiles dependant on the few pools formed from the occasional rains.But now, for the first time in 30 years, rain has fallen in sufficient quantities hundreds of miles to the north in the Angolan highlands, sending a stream of water through the river bed. After years of extreme drought, the river has finally returned in all its glory, transforming the landscape. Filmed in stunning HD, ‘Boteti – The Returning River’ documents this extraordinary transformation and the dramatic changes it brings to the resident animals.During the years of drought, we see how desperate battles for survival play out along the dormant river, watched over by the elephants of the area. One of the few species that adapts well to the situation by carefully conserving what little water is available, the elephant is an expert at digging channels in the mud so water collects in sufficient quantities to drink.Vultures lurk ominously on the dusty banks adjacent to the pools, waiting patiently for dehydration to claim another victim. Crocodiles use caves to escape the heat of the sun and only emerge reluctantly to hunt when huge flocks of quelea birds arrive at the water. The crocs, along with numerous other species, are bound to this area because there is simply nowhere else to go. Beyond the dry river bed, semi-desert extends for hundreds of miles in all directions.With the arrival of the life-giving waters, there is a burst of activity. Fish and dragonflies soon emerge with their attendant predators and frogs appear in their thousands, attracting huge numbers of birds. The deluge also brings instant relief to the hippos by flushing out their fetid pools, while elephants celebrate by swimming and hosing each other down. Jackals and packs of wild dogs appear from nowhere to harass the drinking herds.But the most significant change occurs when the water reaches the parched wasteland of the Makgadigadi Salt Pans. Here, the coming of the flood sees flocks of pelican, flamingo and red-billed teal arrive to set up new breeding colonies.Filmed over a period of two years, this film provides a lasting and unique record of the transformation of an entire environment and contains many examples of previously unrecorded behaviour.

WHAT IN THE WORLD - (25)
Presented by Peadar King, this series illustrates the human consequences of global economic inequalities and human rights violations, by focusing on how people encounter these issues on a daily basis. At the heart of Africa, the Congo for many people will always be associated with Joseph Conrad’s early twentieth-century novel the Heart of Darkness, a title that has become a by-word for the country. And for Benjamin and David, two former child soldiers, and Funaha held as a sex slave by one of the many militias that continue to terrorise the country, that metaphor remains a daily reality. The film explores how this seemingly never-ending conflict impacts on the people of North Kivu.
