A child led introduction to life on the North Frisian island of Sylt. Sylt is very close to the German mainland and mainland Denmark. Connected by the Hindenburg causeway to the mainland, this 30km long island is at its thinnest point only a few hundred metres across. It is covered in dunes and heathland, battered by the strong westerly winds from the North Sea on the west coast where it is constantly subjected to coastal erosion, but sheltered on the east where the Wadden Sea lies. The Wadden Sea is a world heritage site.

Helen is 11 years old and explains what life is like living on the island and how the impact of tourism and migration has changed the geography and life on the island. With her friends, she shows us the Wadden Sea and the important conservation work being undertaken there.
