Bali – it’s all about sun, sand, surf … and snakes?! The island’s climate is perfect for these reptiles, but with so much development going on, the snakes are increasingly coming into contact with humans. That’s where the Bali Reptile Rescue groups comes in – ride along with them as they safely remove a wayward spitting cobra and pit viper and release them back into the wild.

Every September, the skies over the sleepy Indian village of Khichan fill with the noisy arrival of thousands of migratory demoiselle cranes - as many as 15,000. But the birds did not always gather here in such vast numbers … and the story behind this amazing crane congregation is pretty extraordinary.

When we took our cameras along to film a fruit bat that had been found injured in a suburban garden, we were hoping to tell a rescue story with a happy ending. But sadly, things didn’t turn out that way.

This mini-documentary is a glimpse at the incredible natural wonders hidden deep within the forests of Thailand. Not only do these increasingly threatened habitats support life on a grade scale, but they're also the last remaining sanctuaries for some of the rarest and most elusive animals on earth.

An Earth Touch team braves the European winter to go in search of wolves and lynxes in one of the continent’s last truly wild places: the Carpathian mountains of Romania. They're traveling on foot (and in one seriously dicey "flying machine") in a wilderness that's at risk of being swallowed up by human development. Will they be able to find the elusive predators that still survive here and get the epic shots they're after?
