Nature's microworlds. Scottish Highlands
Description
The Scottish Highlands are home to some of the most iconic British wildlife and considered one of the last truly wild places in the UK. Since the Ice Age the Highland landscape has undergone a transformation from dense forest to wide open space; caused by changes in climate and human land use. The wildlife of the Scottish Highlands needs both these habitats to thrive and for this balance to be struck we discover that humans have a key role to play. Narrated by Steve Backshall. Scottish Highlands is part of the impressive BBC natural world series Nature's Microworlds which discovers the ecosystems driven by some of the world's most extreme habitats.
