Brazil's Lost Rainforest: The Fight to Bring Back a Vanished Wilderness | Metamorphoses (1/5)

Around the megacities of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, stretching all the way to Argentina, is one of the most species-rich forests on earth: the Atlantic Rainforest. But today only 12 percent of it remains. A wake-up call for environmentalists, farmers and researchers! More than 300 private initiatives want to break the negative trend and are planting trees en masse to restore tropical forests and turn them into species-rich biotopes. With initial success: The return of the imposing tapir and rare monkey species give hope. ------- Chapters ▷ 00:00 - Introduction ▷ 00:46 - Brazil's Atlantic Forest - A Vanishing Paradise ▷ 03:08 - The Golden Lion Tamarin's Incredible Comeback ▷ 05:23 - Reconnecting Forests and Farmers ▷ 07:19 - Agroforestry and Eco-Tourism Success ▷ 09:36 - Tracking the Monkeys of Rio's Rainforest ▷ 11:13 - Reviving Wildlife in Tijuca National Park ▷ 14:10 - Rewilding Brazil - Tortoises Agoutis, and More ▷ 19:40 - REGUA Reserve - 600,000 Trees and Counting ▷ 21:34 - The Tapir Returns to the Atlantic Forest ▷ 24:08 - Três Picos Park - Protecting Brazil's Biodiversity ▷ 25:01 - Fighting Poaching and Illegal Wildlife Trade ▷ 29:26 - Forest Honey and the Quilombola Guardians ▷ 35:36 - SOS Mata Atlântica - Science Behind Reforestation ▷ 39:34 - Wildlife Comeback in Rebuilt Forests ▷ 47:32 - Greening São Paulo - Mini Forests for the Future ▷ 51:04 - Hope for the Atlantic Forest's Revival ▷ 52:12 - Credits #documentary #animals #wildlife #brazil #nature #rainforest #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.
