Our Changing Climate

Discover the ocean’s hidden kelp forests, and explore how these light-dependent organisms evolved to survive at dark depths. -- Like any other plant, kelps require light to grow. Yet kelps found nearly 90 meters below the ocean's surface, where sometimes only 0.1% of sunlight can reach, grow as large as, and often even larger than, their shallow counterparts. So how have these large, light-dependent organisms adapted to thrive at such depths? Luka Seamus Wright and Salomé Buglass explore the ocean's hidden forests. Lesson by Luka Seamus Wright and Salomé Buglass, directed by Upamanyu Bhattacharyya, Otter Studios.

Explore the essential role vultures play in cleaning our ecosystems and why their conservation is key to a healthy planet. -- In the African grasslands, a gazelle suffering from tuberculosis takes its last breath. The animal’s corpse threatens to infect the water, but for the vulture, this isn’t a problem: it’s a feast. With a stomach of steel that can digest diseased meat and waste, vultures are essential to removing dangerous pathogens from ecosystems. Kenny Coogan explores the importance of the desert’s cleanup crew. Lesson by Kenny Coogan, directed by Mali Mamut.
