The Truth about Wildlife

Episode 3: Woods, Moor, Heath

Duration: 30 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC One WestLatest broadcast: on BBC Two England

Naturalist Chris Packham presents a hard hitting personal take on what's going wrong - and sometimes right - with our marine wildlife and its conservation. He finds non-native conifer plantations that do little to aid native wildlife and iconic places like the New Forest and Dartmoor that are suffering loss of habitat. He asks whether we are spending too much on cute and cuddly species like dormice and whether we should concentrate instead on connecting up important habitats like precious heathland that has been fragmented over the years.
