| Summary |
On the Brink features four 50 minute films that look at how scientists and conservationists are working to protect several endangered species and habitat: tigers in Asia, pandas in China’s Sichuan Province, wild horses in Western China, and a tropical coral reef in Bali. Natural History New Zealand (NHNZ) is one of the world’s leading television production companies. Coral reefs are the "rainforests of the sea", home to nearly 1/4 of the ocean's marine species. Discover how revolutionary new technology is providing a glimmer of hope for Bali's once magnificent coral reefs. Most of Bali's coral reefs and the marine live that once teemed around them have been destroyed by a deadly combination of coral bleaching, partly from global warming, and fishing with explosives and cyanide. A determined Balinese community and two marine scientists have invented a new technology that rebuilds coral reefs up to five times faster than would naturally occur. These important marine ecosystems could soon be brought back to life to once again shelter a magnificent array of exotic marine life |
