Accompanied by celebrated scientists, unique animations and a stunning orchestral score, Carbon reminds us of our humble participation in the most extraordinary story in the universe.

Scientists explore the extraordinary mass nesting behaviour of the olive ridley sea turtle, and reveal the hidden world inside a turtle nest.

In Turtle Beach, a documentary from The Nature of Things, Canadian naturalist and cinematographer Hugo Kitching follows a team of international scientists on a groundbreaking expedition to uncover the mysteries of this rare phenomenon.

Jim Al-Khalili meets Tim Lamont, a young ecologist making waves restoring coral reefs. Tim Lamont is a young scientist making waves. Arriving on the Great Barrier Reef after a mass bleaching event, Tim saw his research plans disappear and was personally devastated by the destruction. But from that event he discovered a novel way to restore coral reefs. Playing the sounds of a healthy coral reef entices fish in to recolonise the wrecked reefs. Tim's emotional journey forced him to realise that environmental scientists can no longer just observe. They need to find new prisms with which to view the world and to intervene to save or protect the natural environment. [Monday 27 February 2023]

A collection of stories from fishing, commercial and scientific people living near three marine reserves in Northland, New Zealand. The first 'no-take' marine reserve was established more than 35 years ago, and the stories here document first hand the changing attitudes over the years. We hear from fishers, tourist operators, scientists and rangers about why these reserves were set up and how the local communities reacted - and adapted - to them. We hear about the economic, social, recreational, scientific and ecological benefits of marine reserves. And we hear about some of the management issues facing marine reserves and their communities.

Modern society sits at the intersection of two crucial questions: What does it mean when artificial intelligence increasingly governs our liberties? And what are the consequences for the people AI is biased against? When MIT Media Lab researcher Joy Buolamwini discovers that many facial recognition technologies do not accurately detect darker-skinned faces or classify the faces of women, she delves into an investigation of widespread bias in algorithms. As it turns out, artificial intelligence is not neutral, and women are leading the charge to ensure our civil rights are protected.

It all began 50 years ago in a muddy field in Northamptonshire with three scientists, an RAF bomber and a borrowed BBC short-wave transmitter. The experiment was to lead to the radar which won the Battle of Britain and defeated the U-boats in the Atlantic. Today civil airlines could not operate without it, neither could the space programme. Radar also forms NATO's first line of defence in the cold war; it has come a long way from that muddy field. https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/47db43107ad3475c9c7f1faed0f1c753 A BBC Q.E.D programme

An introduction to the film series 'We, The Voyagers: Lata's Children' from the directors and executive producers Marianne 'Mimi' George and Heu 'Ionālani Meph Wyeth.

We, the Polynesian voyagers of Taumako, Solomon Islands, share our history, motivations, and skills, through story-telling, canoe building, and wayfinding. We recall our ancestors, who made the greatest of human migrations. We use only the designs, materials, and methods of our culture-hero, Lata, who built the first voyaging canoe (vaka) and navigated to distant islands. When Europeans took over we became isolated. To help us regain sustainability, Chief Kaveia, our most experienced navigator, led us in training new generations to plant gardens, feed workers, make rope from plants, weave and sew sails, protect our trees, adze parts for voyaging canoes, and lash them together. Kaveia also enlisted an anthropologist to help us make this film. After he died in 2009, we built a vaka and Chief Holani, Kaveia’s former crew, became our new Lata and prepared us for the test of an open ocean voyage. The story of Lata teaches us that everyone is welcome in Lata’s crew, and that we can avoid making certain mistakes as we strive to connect with long-lost family and new friends on faraway shores.

In our isolated Polynesian community, we live the story of our ancestral culture-hero, Lata. To make a voyage our living Lata welcomes men, women and children as crew, including hard workers with skills, persons of bad character, and a tame anthropologist. We bless the vessel and sailors, learn how to set the sails, and navigate into challenging seas and weather. We find our way in the open ocean by interacting with patterns of winds, waves, stars, and other signs that ancestors show us when we need them. We arrive at islands and learn what happened to family members since the last voyage some generations earlier. We reconcile, reaffirm our love for each other, and look to our future together.
