Shot around the Palmyra oasis, Syria. Despite its bad reputation in the international press, the Syrian government is very much involved in the effort of protecting its natural heritage. This is the story of a handful of visionary men who are fighting in the desert to protect what is left of the biodiversity of Al Badia. Their efforts will be rewarded by the discovery of the last Middle Eastern breeding colony of the Bald Ibis in the wild, one of the rarest migratory birds and a symbol of wisdom for the Bedouins of the desert.

The name itself has a sense of mystery and foreboding. With its vast jungles and huge river, the Amazon region covers 2.7 million square miles and stretches across eight South American countries. It has attracted some of history's bravest adventurers, lured by tales of untold riches and the challenge of conquering some of the most difficult terrain on Earth. This feature length special examines the exploits and adventures of modern descendants of the legendary 15th century explorers. Some are drawn by the promise of scientific revelations; others heed the siren call of hidden riches. Regardless of their motives, the Amazon remains a fickle and brutal mistress, dealing death and failure with a generous hand. Plunge into the uncharted wilderness with Teddy Roosevelt after the Roughrider lost the presidency; see how Henry Ford lost millions in an ill-fated project to produce rubber; and follow in the footsteps of a British explorer determined to track down a legendary lost city. Filled with location footage and first person accounts of these harrowing adventures, this is a gripping look at one of the few truly wild areas left on earth.

Antarctic ozone hole maximum size, 1979-2015. Ozone concentrations are colour-coded, with the purple and dark blue areas representing the lowest levels, constituting the "hole". The hole was first detected in mid 1970s, and was found to be due to chemical reactions between the atmosphere and chlorofluorcarbon gases (CFCs), which were widely used as refrigerants and propellants. CFCs were banned by the Montreal Protocol in 1987. The maximum extent of the hole was recorded in 2006. The measurements were made by NASA’s Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) instruments, and by the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI) Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI), from 2004-present. Every year from 1979 to 2015 appears in this montage except 1995, for which there is no data.

The social problems that affect urban and rural populations alike are not limited to developing countries. Illiteracy, elevated school drop-out rates, delinquency, unemployment and poverty are issues that face countries around the world, both in the East and the West. The youth of any society represent its future. Unfortunately, a large number do not have access to the necessary tools to help them reach their full potential. Some fall into delinquency or live in poverty; others do not have access to adequate education. By focusing on our young people, some architects of change are working to ensure a better future.

Tourism may well be an indispensable industry for a large number of countries world-wide, but it also brings its share of disadvantages. It is often a significant source of pollution, be it from transport for visitors, the construction of vacation resorts, recreational activities or simply from the rising quantity of waste materials. Tourism can also harm ecosystems by disturbing animal and plant species, or create a cycle of dependence amongst impoverished populations. Luckily, it is possible to tackle tourism responsibly and in harmony with people and the environment: tourism which benefits visitors and their hosts alike.
