Can we undo centuries of ecological damage in a single generation?
In short: Just off the coast of Los Angeles lies an archipelago devastated by human exploitation. This documentary explores the ambitious, and often controversial, plan to rewild California’s Channel Islands.
The Channel Islands serve as a stark example of the consequences of intense environmental pressure over centuries. The terrestrial and marine ecosystems have been significantly degraded, prompting a massive restoration initiative aimed at returning these islands to their original wild state.
While the goal is to restore a lost paradise, the project faces significant hurdles and public debate. The documentary examines the complexities of large-scale ecological repair and the friction that arises when human interests collide with ambitious conservation goals.
