Episode 4

Prince Bernard of the Netherlands introduces national reserves around the world dedicated solely to species survival and animal protection. In Italy, within bird sanctuaries, we follow the kiwi and the heron; in Australia, the koala, the living model for our teddy bear; in the United States, the bison destined to reclaim their lost lands and their European cousins raised for meat and skin. The apotheosis comes in Gran Paradiso National Park, where only a patient animal lover could witness and film the chamois’s dance of freedom.
