Saving Paradise visits six natural sites that are not only breathtakingly beautiful, but also form unique, incredible ecosystems, where animal species and nature live in perfect symbiosis. As in many parts of the world, these living paradises are being coveted because of their natural resources. Fortunately, people fight daily to protect them. They have become heroes of our modern times.
In this series, we discover these sites and their unique ecosystems with rangers, reasearches and biologists who work to protect them. Thanks to their knowledge and their passion, they’ve developed original and sometimes unprecedented solutions to preserve their wildlife for future generations. While sharing the life of these men and women, we understand the many dangers that threaten the rich animal life and discover what measures have been put in place to protect it.
