How Lake Erie Is Healing from America's Age of Industrialisation | Metamorphoses (5/5)

Agriculture, urbanisation and industry have taken a heavy toll on Lake Erie, one of the five Great Lakes on the northern edge of the US. Today, more and more people are working to bring nature back around the lake. Rivers are recovering, wetlands are being restored, and eradicated animal and plant species are returning. The wounds inflicted on nature by man are beginning to heal. ------- Chapters ▷ 00:00 - Introduction ▷ 00:49 - Lake Erie - From Pollution to Restoration ▷ 02:19 - The Great Black Swamp - Paradise for Birds ▷ 04:41 - Tracking Migratory Birds on Lake Erie ▷ 07:05 - Wetlands Lost and Found - A Vanishing Habitat ▷ 08:43 - Detroit's Industrial Past and Nature's Return ▷ 10:44 - Greening Detroit - Restoring Parks and Hope ▷ 13:50 - Cleaning the Detroit River - A New Beginning ▷ 16:12 - The Cuyahoga River Fire - America's Environmental Wake-Up Call ▷ 19:11 - The Cuyahoga Valley National Park - Nature's Comeback Story ▷ 22:38 - Otters, Beavers, and Eagles Return to Ohio ▷ 26:00 - Coyotes in the City - Living with Urban Wildlife ▷ 33:37 - Lake Erie's Ecological Revival ▷ 36:31 - The Battle Against the Invasive Sea Lamprey ▷ 40:27 - Toxic Algae and Farming's Role in Lake Erie's Health ▷ 46:30 - Restoring the Great Black Swamp - Nature's Kidneys Return ▷ 50:08 - A New Generation Protects Lake Erie's Future ▷ 51:41 - Credits #documentary #animals #wildlife #sustainability #usa #lakeerie #america #saveourplanet #biodiversity #animalbehavior #animalplanet ------- Watch all episodes in our playlist: https://bit.ly/metamorphoses_playlist Subscribe to wocomoWILDLIFE: https://goo.gl/L5puvQ Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wocomo ------- In some regions intensively used by man, new habitats are being created – full of amazing beauty and diversity. This series takes us to regions that have undergone – and are still undergoing – radical change. In some places, where flora and fauna were once eradicated to make room for agriculture, industry and the extraction of raw materials, nature is coming back into its own. Landscapes are blooming with new life – because old industries have been closed down and people are recognizing the value of the natural world. On the Great Lakes in North America, in the rainforest of Costa Rica and in the Lausitz region of eastern Germany highly polluted rivers, vast areas given over to monocultures and soaring slag heaps are being transformed into species-rich marvels of nature. Biologists are creating wetlands out of brownfield sites, conservationists are turning cattle pastures into tropical forest and districts devastated by lignite mining are producing refuges for rare species. The individual, self-contained episodes document a range of compelling projects, which demonstrate that even destruction can provide a new beginning for nature. And that we can all help to save the biodiversity of our planet for the future. With lavishly filmed sequences and emotional storylines, the documentary series “Metamorphoses – The Return of the Wilderness” makes a powerful appeal to the mind, the heart and the eye.
