Am Bìoson Eòrpach/The European Bison

Featuring the European Bison, which was once nearly extinct but is now slowly taking territory back.

Tha creutairean iongantach beò ann am fàsaich na h-Eòrpa. Taisbeanaidh sinn sia dhe na creutairean as motha, as teirce 's as luaithe air a' mhòr-thìr – aon bheathach neo teaghlach bheathaichean anns gach earrann. Dè na dùbhlain a tha romhpa ann an saoghal caochlaideach? Dè a' bhuaidh a th' aig atharrachadh na gnàth-shìde orra agus ciamar a bhios iad a' dìon an àrainn bho bhuaidh dhaonna?

Airson eòlas a chur air na beathaichean nan àrainn, agus airson dlùthachadh air na tachartasan is dùbhlain làitheil aca, cleachdaidh sinn teicneòlas camara sònraichte, agus cho fad 's as urrainn dhuinn, feuchaidh sinn ri gnothaichean a shealltainn tro shùilean nam beathaichean. Mura gabh sin a dhèanamh, glacaidh camarathan fiadh-bheatha tachartasan sònraichte neo ris nach robh dùil.
Anns a’ phrògram seo, bidh sinn ag ionnsachadh mun chreutair talmhainn as motha san Roinn Eòrpa – am bìoson Eòrpach. Theab e a dhol à bith, ach tha e a-nise a' dol am feabhas.

'S e cuairt tro fhàsach na h-Eòrpa ann an lorgan nam beathaichean a th' anns an t-sreath, turas an cois na creutairean fo shùil na camarathan as fheàrr a th' ann: dlùth-shealladh air beathaichean sna tìrean as bòidhche air a' mhòr-thìr.

Europe’s wilderness is home to animals of superlatives. We present six of the largest, rarest and fastest animals on the continent - one animal or animal family in each episode. What are their challenges in a changing world? How does climate change affect them and how do they defend their habitat against human influence?

In order to get to know the animal protagonists in their habitat and to make their experiences and daily challenges tangible, we approach the animals with special camera technology and, whenever possible, create perspectives from the animals’ point of view. If this is not possible, wildlife cameras capture special and unexpected moments.

In this programme, we learn about Europe’s largest land mammal, the European Bison, which was once nearly extinct but is now slowly taking territory back.

The series is a cinematic safari in the footsteps of Europe’s wilderness, a journey with the animals, staged with the best cameras on the market: animals up close and in the most beautiful landscapes of the continent.
