This channel is about (re-)connecting humans and nature. I share examples of successful coexistence of humans with nature. I take you along wonderful experiences in nature and with nature. I am deep - diving into facts about fauna and flora. Sometimes I take you far away to distant cultures, sometimes I just have look next door.
(मराठी) BHIGWAN - a tale of wolves, flamingos and village people (Marathi / English)
The Ujani dam on the Bhima river had unintentionally given birth to a remarkable ecosystem for birds and mammals in Bhigwan which is unprotected to this date, but thanks to a few individuals like Sandip Nagare and Gaurav Shelar wildlife thrives.
We are exploring the coexistence of village people and wild animals like wolves, foxes and hyenas.

Dubai - the Old and the New - an Overnight Stay
Переглядів 3003 роки тому
For me, Dubai is a very interesting mixture of the hypermodern skyline with the Burj Khalifa and the Dubai Frame but also the "old" part at the Dubai Creek with the gold souk, deira, and old dhows which carry goods from Iran and beyond (wooden arab boats). Watching people loading and unloading these old dhows and the busy scenes in the souk are a real joy to witness. I hope you enjoy my little ...

Tokyo, a fascinating place to be. It has so many different sides, a busy one, a quiet, peaceful one, a highly modern but also a very traditional one. I was lucky when I visited Tokyo on the weekend of November 15th that on this day the Shichi-Go-San festival took place at the Meiji Jingu Shrine in Tokyo. It is a traditional rite of passage and festival day in Japan for three- and seven-year-old...
The Land of the Tiger
Переглядів 7375 років тому
A mini documentary about the Tadoba Nationalpark in central India, where a population of tigers can still be seen in the wild. This time it was monsoon season, which makes it especially difficult to track and see tigers, as they can easily hide in the jungle, and are not forced to come to the few water holes where you can typically see them. We were the only jeep on that weekend which spotted a...

Jawai - a tale of humans, leopards and landscapes
Hi Gunther - you will appreciate that you have NOT seen a single gun in the entire documentary, I just seen video of Wolf - Slava and youtube suggested this video in my country :) which I was never knew about. Thanks for your documentary, we will search more video in India :)
🤍🤍
About the good fortune thing, my guess is that the presence of wolves in the areas around farmland keeps the chinkaras and other herbivores like wild boars away which in turn protects the farmland. So the farmer's notion of "presence of the wolves increases the yeild" Probably comes from this phenomenon. This is just my guess, i may be wrong.
This is such a beautiful documentary about the often neglected Deccan grasslands ecosystem. Thank you Gunther!!
Brilliant camera work! Dont want to split hairs here because the whole video is incredibly immersive! Well done! ❤🎉
Best documentry ever
Love the way of your story telling, your cinematography is out standing. I have a suggestion for you if you dont mind , your titles (heading) are just awesome, but if You add a indian touch to the titles , by adding the full names of local places either national parks or local villages . I just noticed you got better views in your latest videos . Hope your years of hard work get paid now. Best of luck, buddy.
Beautiful film and kudos to the wise villagers/ farmers for realising the need to preserve ecosystem. Thanks to Gunther and team for sharing this rich experience with us. Secondly, it is my humble request to the villagers to introduce 'the great Indian bustard' माळढोक in Bhigwan grassland which is on the verge of extinction.
The photography is excellent and the scenery surreal.
Incredible India.
Is it an independent production? Awesome cenematography !!
Awesome film!
Amazing documentary...
Thank you for this well-done film on the birds and wildlife of these lands near Puna. Truly a spark of hope in an age so badly in need of this type of care.
