A series of programmes featuring natural history films from other countries.

In 1936 Lance Richdale began a remarkable study of the yellow-eyed penguins of New Zealand's Otago Peninsula. Richdale's study was to last him 18 years - focusing on individuals rather than populations.
In time he gave a number to every bird, and a name to each colony. But in Colony Z there was an old male penguin who was to become better known to him than all the others, he was Z12.
This film by NZTV is a recreation of Richdale's life in the summer of 1940 as he followed the fortunes of Z12 and his mate Z115 in their final season together.

The second part of a Natural World special
Narrated by Sue MacGregor Water
Two-thirds of all countries are threatened by encroaching deserts.
Burkina Faso, on the edge of the Sahel in west Africa, is one of the poorest countries in the world. It has been gripped by drought since
1968, yet simple techniques are helping villagers conserve their precious rainfall.
In the western USA, massive irrigation schemes costing billions of dollars are now bringing a bitter harvest of subsidised yet unsaleable crops. Salt and selenium building up in the soil threaten to put a million acres out of production.
Desertification depends on economics, and farmers struggling to improve their drought-stricken land in Africa are threatened by the subsidies given to farms in the EEC and the USA. Photography
