BIOTIFUL PLANET

Over three seasons, Séverine Ferrer, WWF's ambassador, takes us on a biological treasure hunt to see how much biodiversity remains in those regions. A six-part series on the treasures of France’s overseas territories. The French overseas territories are a treasure trove of biodiversity. In a total surface area ten times smaller than France itself, we find more endemic species than in all of Europe. The question is for how much longer ? The extraordinary natural richness of these territories is nevertheless extremely fragile. Through six films, Séverine Ferrer – ambassador with the global environmental conservation organization WWF – invites us along on a biological treasure hunt that’s also an opportunity to take stock of the situation. It’s one adventure and surprise after another as we meet the men and women fighting out in the field for biodiversity conservation: leatherback turtle observation, whale-watching, protecting the coral reefs and tropical forests by setting up natural reserves… Our dynamic ambassador’s enthusiasm spurs us to join the fight to save the plants and animals before irrevocable damage is done.
