Welcome to The Mighty Northwest – a land of giants. Here you’ll find the tallest trees on earth, the last of America’s big glaciers, the most active volcanoes in the lower 48, and an epic meeting of land and sea that attracts some of the biggest marine life on the planet. From the redwoods to the Rockies, The Mighty Northwest supports animal protagonists with big personalities and enormous life-and-death challenges.

The Pantanal is the world's largest tropical wetland, a lush environment where a tangled web of lives comes together.

Wade into this wonderland of biodiversity and uncover its natural rhythms.

Profiles of some of the men who choose to live off the grid in the unspoiled wilderness, where dangers like mudslides, falling trees and bears are all part of everyday life.

Britain’s wildlife can be secretive, so often goes unnoticed. This series reveals the hidden lives of both the familiar and the more unusual animals with which we share our island home.

In the heart of Europe lies Switzerland. In its midst yet apart from it, like an island. The Swiss Confederation holds a special position not only politically and historically – in particular, its scenic diversity is something really special: majestic mountains, lush green valleys, craggy rock landscapes and Mediterranean lakes all close together in one small geographical location. Switzerland is proud of its distinction and autonomy, reflected amongst other things in its different cantons and linguistic regions. Each episode in our series “Wild Faces of Switzerland“ seeks to do justice to this diversity.
