Breaking Lab in Peru

On our Peru expedition in April 2024, Jacob accompanied us and immersed himself deep into the tropical rainforest in our protected areas - whether it was to look over the shoulders of our researchers or in search of the loudest animal in the jungle.

The rarest animal

Breaking Lab on the road in the jungle of Peru, one of the most biodiverse places in the world. It is home to several million different organisms, most of which we have never seen before. Together with Wilderness International, Jacob sets off in search of the rarest animal in the jungle.

    Why we should (not) shoot wolves

    Jacob observed wolves on Porcher Island - a hotly debated topic in Germany too. In his video, Jacob looks at the question of why we still don't hunt wolves in Germany - and whether it would do any good at all.

    The least explored habitat in the world

    How can it be that there are still habitats that have hardly been explored? Habitats like the ocean, especially the deep sea. Breaking Lab embarks on an expedition to Canada to talk about the temperate rainforest and the oceans together with Wilderness International.

What is the temperate rainforest?
