Katherine Holden will mark her 70th birthday by climbing some pretty big trees to draw attention to the wonder, diversity and threats faced by the world's forests. Starting with the land of the spirit bears in Canada, where black bears turn white but now threatened by an oil pipeline. Then Madagascar where the rosewood are being chopped down by hand for illegal export. To Brazil, Tasmania, the giant redwoods of California and Ethiopia's coptic forests. She'll face biting ants, snakes, moss covered tree trunks and dangerous officials to raise awareness of the beauty and value of these ancient trees. Shooting from June 2012. Eight part series. |
