Australia’s Great Barrier Reef is wonderful, beautiful – and alive. But for how long? Originally filmed in 1993, this documentary looks at one of the few remaining live coral reefs and why the coral reefs around the world are still dying 28 years later.

45 min video. Salmon farming exposed: Does the industry’s ‘green image’ stack up?

We're constantly told by experts to eat more fish - its fats and nutrients are good for our health. As of 2016, the most popular fish in Australia was salmon. We consumed almost 40,000 tonnes of it a year. But what do we know about how salmon is farmed, what the fish are fed and what the environmental impacts are? These issues have brought the industry to a flashpoint in Tasmania which has the biggest salmon farming area in Australia. Thousands of jobs in that state depend on salmon farming and its future relies on a 'clean green' image.

They sting, bite, transmit diseases and frighten children. But, on the other hand, they are also fascinating: 480 million years ago, insects were the first animals to learn to fly, and they took over the Earth. Even now, they are fundamental to life on Earth, and are at the beginning of the food chain on which all human beings are ultimately dependent. But insect numbers worldwide are dropping, creating a rupture of the food chain. Environmentalists and scientists are now extremely worried. Landscape ecology professor Alexandra-Maria Klein from Freiburg, for example, has been researching the effects of human interventions in natural environments for decades and has launched an experiment in a fruit plantation on Lake Constance: W...
