From the tropical rainforest in Papua New Guinea to the Mongolian taiga, people from indigenous cultures worldwide are fighting to preserve their forests. Whether through reforestation in the Amazon rainforest or the fight against pollution of the boreal forest in Canada, the series shows in five episodes the great importance of forests for our planet.
Guardians of the forest
In the Darhat valley in northern Mongolia, the horses of nomadic tribes are stolen by bandits who then sell them to Russian slaughterhouses. Shukhert, a brave horseman, relentlessly pursues them through the Mongolian taiga, bordering Siberia.

Gardiens de la forêt : Mongolie, la vallée des ours
Breathtaking cinematography provides an intimate glimpse into the life of Nomadic sheep herders on the Mongolian steppe. For Purevjav and his family, the predatory wolves who steal sheep at night are as troubling as the grazing land that is disappearing as with the mining boom. With quiet dignity, Purevjav speaks of the sacred relationship between human and wolf and how exploitation and misuse of the land has transgressed humanity's sacred connection to the landscape.
Taïga
The Taiga, also known as the boreal forest, represents about 17% of the Earth's surface and has the highest density of rivers and natural springs in the world. In Mongolia, its primary forests and pure waters have kept an entire population nomadic on its lands for thousands of years.
