Big Little Journeys

This is a BBC nature documentary series. Each episode follows two smaller animal species from around the world. The team follows these creatures very closely and close-up. The animals are dealing with modern day realities of human encroachment. Most are dealing with the lost of habitat. This show doesn't shy away from the new difficulties. In fact, it is one of them main concept being advanced. Watching the animals trying to cross a road is like an epic thrilling adventure. There are some nature shows that minimizes or ghettoizes the problem. This one does a good job and it looks great like most BBC nature.

More magical than anything else is, for the first time in a nature documentary, seeing all the other animals who co-exist alongside these animals. I felt like I was literally in the canopy, forest floor, or lake.

After 40 years of watching wildlife programmes, this series has the most integrity in terms of understanding the life-span, the challenges, the other animals that live alongside them and the agenda of finding a mate, food, laying eggs before they die, or finding a way across a road.

What a revelation. A complete joy and a huge feeling of gratitude, because I will never be able to follow animals like they have been caught on camera in this series and I feel I've been shown much more about the eco-systems that exist in the world, and how they exist, and the incredible range of other animals that live around them.

I also feel incredibly grateful to hear of people using initiative to assist the wild animals to feed well and to survive. Im so utterly grateful to understand that humans are helping where they can - and are making a true effort to conserve, care for and protect the wildlife you have shown.

Thank you to everybody involved and to the great narrative pacing, and explanation of what is going on.
