This 52 minute documentary, shot over a period of 7 years, tells the story of the last remaining baboons that are locked into a fierce battle for territory with humans who arrived much later. Since the turn of the century these baboons have effectively been cut off from the rest of their brothers and sisters in Africa by a veritable wall of development. Now they have nowhere else to go and as their natural habitat shrinks, frequent clashes occur with their neighbouring primates, humans.Rating:Views: 1180 -

Expedition Blue Planet- Okavango, Botswana: Cradle of LifeVideo by:Description: In spite of the Okavango Delta, Botswana does not have unimited water resources. In this film, the team investigates the role of water in the communities and how the country is working to protect the water they have. But while the river is viewed by some as a sacred entity with great spiritual purity, the environmental reality is another story. Almost 300 million gallons of waste are poured directly in to the river each day. This practice has led the river to become a breeding ground for deadly, waterborne illnesses, which make up 80% of the health problems facing the nation of India. Perhaps of greatest concern is the impact of climate change on the Himalayas that is melting the glaciers that feed the Ganges, threatening to make the river a seasonal occurrence within a span of decades.Rating:Views: 426 -
