Of giant trees, orcas, and howler monkeys

Jacob Beautemps is on an expedition with Wilderness International! Together we have already visited the rugged coast of British Columbia and the species-rich temperate rainforest; now we are heading to the Amazon rainforest in Peru, the most biodiverse place in the world! Jacob's mission: As an ambassador, he wants to show you the importance of these very special ecosystems - and why they are so acutely threatened!

    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?

Breaking Lab in Canada

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 known about the oceans in the coastal regions of Canada, how much is known about the deep sea there and what does all this have to do with the protection of rainforests and whales?

Hunting wolves? 

Why we should (not) shoot wolves

Jacob and a team of scientists have tried to record which animals live on Porcher Island. Among them are wolves - a hotly debated topic in both Germany and Canada. In his video, Jacob addresses the question of why we still don't hunt wolves in Germany - and whether it would make any difference at all.
