DocumentaryThe mini-series looks at three landscapes in the world that undergo stunning transformations and the biodiversity in them.Geetika MantriHippos in Okavango We often hear things like ‘nature has a delicate balance’, or that ‘every creature in nature has its own place’. But we hardly ever come to realise just how delicate this balance is, and how efficient natural ecosystems are.
