After humans, orangutans are the primates that remain most attached to their offspring for the longest period: females care for their young for nine years. Victims of poaching, adult females are sometimes abducted or killed. Only the luckiest orphans are taken in by sanctuaries such as the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation.
The bear has returned to the Pyrenees, especially in Ariège and Haute-Garonne. In this region, home to its preferred habitats, humans must adapt to the presence of this powerful predator. Scientists and passionate conservationists on one side, critical residents and concerned farmers on the other, are all fighting to make their voices heard.
For centuries, nomads roamed the Kenyan bush with their herds of cattle and goats. But years of drought decimated their livestock. To help the semi-nomadic herders, the Kenyan government implemented a camel distribution program.

For centuries, the inhabitants of the Danish island of Læsø have covered the roofs of their houses with dried-out seaweed. The fire-resistant natural material protected the houses from storms and rain and this sustainable material is still in use today. Roofer Henning is the keeper of this rare craft and wants to pass on his knowledge to the younger generation.
