Costa Rica's Operation Tropical Forest - The Rebirth of a Lost Paradise | Metamorphoses (2/5)

Costa Rica is famous for its national parks, tropical forests and rare animals. For centuries, though, the forests had to make way more and more – above all, for agriculture. Since the early 1980s, the land has set a new course. Huge areas have been reforested; plant and animal species are recovering. The film shows how something that was long thought impossible has been brought about: the return of the tropical forests and their inhabitants. ------- Chapters ▷ 00:00 - Introduction ▷ 00:48 - From Deforestation to Regeneration ▷ 02:30 - The Rio Pacuare - Paradise Reborn ▷ 04:23 - Saving the Rainforest Through Eco-Tourism ▷ 07:22 - Locals and Tourists Reforest Together ▷ 10:58 - Sloths, Hummingbirds, and Life Among the Trees ▷ 12:30 - Beyond the Rainforest - Costa Rica's Dry Forests ▷ 13:41 - Santa Rosa - Rebuilding the Lost Forest ▷ 18:18 - Orange Peels and the Miracle of Soil Revival ▷ 20:43 - Linking Forests from Coast to the Mountains ▷ 24:43 - Jaguars, Crocodiles, and Sea Turtles Return ▷ 27:54 - Balancing Agriculture and Conservation ▷ 29:45 - Organic Pineapples and Forest-Friendly Farming ▷ 35:10 - Forest of the Children - Rewilding with Purpose ▷ 37:25 - Frogs, Martens, and the Dream of a Green Corridor ▷ 43:43 - Climate Change and the Fight Against Wildfires ▷ 50:14 - Operation Tropical Forest - A Model for the World ▷ 51:09 - Credits #documentary #animals #wildlife #tropicalforest #costarica #reforestation #sustainability #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.
