Overview: 'Europe's New Wild' is the inspiring story of the wild rebirth of a continent. Across four episodes, the series reveals the spectacular resurgence of nature across Europe's most varied and breathtaking landscapes.

DVD Verdict: From the Arctic Circle to rich river wetlands, from deep forest to rugged mountain peaks, witness Europe's most iconic wildlife thrive and flourish in the most unexpected places.

Episode 1: The Missing Lynx: Across the Iberian peninsula, food chains and ecosystems are being restored allowing a host of endangered animals, including the Iberian Lynx - rarest cat in the world - to flourish once again.

In Portugal's Coa Valley, the introduction of ancient species is transforming the landscape and heralding the return of the region's top predators.

We learn that by the turn of the 21st century, the Iberian lynx was on the verge of extinction, as only 94 individuals survived in two isolated subpopulations in Andalusia in 2002.

Conservation measures were implemented since 2002 which included improving habitat, restocking of rabbits, translocating, re-introducing and monitoring Iberian lynxes.

By 2012, the population had increased to 326 individuals, a number that increased to 855 in 2020.

Episode 2: Return of the Titans: In the Carpathian mountains and other wildlife strongholds, nature is being given a helping hand.

The reintroduction of European Bison and the spread of the Grey wolf across the continent signal a wildlife comeback which is benefiting not only other animals but humans as well.

Here we learn that the Carpathian Mountains form a 1,500km-long range in Central and Eastern Europe. They stretch west to east in an arc from the Czech Republic to Romania.

The Tatra range between Slovakia and Poland is a national park and has several peaks above 2,400 meters. More than half of the Carpathian range lies in Romania, where spruce forests are home to brown bears, wolves and lynxes.

Episode 3: Land of Snow and Ice: The wilds of Lapland have served as a home for the Sami people and their reindeer for thousands of years.

But with the modern world threatening their traditional way of life, the Sami are working with conservation groups to protect and rewild one of Europe's most extreme wildernesses. Now, Lapland is witnessing wildlife spectacles return to the land of ice and snow.

In this quite fascinating episode we learn that aside from Reindeer and Huskies and Eagles and Bears (the brown bear being the most common of the big omnivores in Lapland, there are Wolves, Lynx and the even the Wolverine).

Episode 4: Europe's Amazon: The Danube is the largest preserved wetland on the continent, a sanctuary for thousands of species - many are the last of their kind.

Every year the delta advances 30 meters into the Black sea, but its future depends on the efforts of conservationists working to preserve these unique and fragile habitats.

Here we learn that The Danube is Europe's second-longest river, after the Volga. It is located in Central and Eastern Europe.

Indeed The Danube was once a long-standing frontier of the Roman Empire and today flows through 10 countries. The river runs through the largest number of countries in the world. This is a Widescreen Presentation (1.78:1) enhanced for 16x9 TVs.
