High deaths of turtles due to motorists, natural camouflage of hares out of tune with the seasons, mysterious infection decimating bat populations…
Hundreds of reasons to worry. Thousands of animals with a worrying status. Whether it is due to their plummeting population or their behavior which cannot keep up with the alarming rate of global warming, many animals are the subject of studies by biologists.
This is the premise of the documentary series Connected wildlife which highlights over the course of eight episodes just as many animals from Canada’s biodiversity and their difficulties vis-à-vis environmental disturbances. Using sophisticated microtechnology, various researchers are trying to measure the impacts of climate change on wildlife here.
The show does more than just present these tragic issues. This one takes the time to introduce us to these extraordinary animals — with stunning shots of drones and underwater cameras — and the humans who have chosen to work hard to protect them. Through an episode, weeks have been able to pass, which allows the public to follow the continuous and colossal work of these people who devote themselves – literally – body and soul to the cause.
Immensely enriching with its very interesting pedagogical approach, the series succeeds in creating an attachment between these wild animals and the public, which has no other choice but to become aware of these sad realities.
