Ecosystem Guides documentaries
The Ecosystem Guides Documentaries are short videos that each cover a small area of natural history. Each epsiode is from a few minutes to 15 minutes long.
They are made for playing in lectures or on
the "Ecosystem Guides" youtube channel
Each 'episode' looks at different aspects of the ecosystem, from flowers and fruits, to butterflies to birds. Each episode usually has a practical field component to it as well, for example, showing the techniques for identifying plants or spotlighting for possums. The approach is by field science, but with adventure and humour.
When there is enough on a particular ecosystem in a region, for example, the Tropical Rainforest of Australia, then they are edited into a full length documentary on DVD.
The first one of these is now available. It is called
"Ancestral Jungle",
and focuses on the lowland tropical rainforest of Australia.
