In JoJo and Gran Gran Visit the Community Garden, JoJo and her grandmother head to the local allotment, or community garden, to harvest some vegetables. Real-life children visit a community garden to see the vegetables that grow there. This video is excerpted from BBC’s JoJo & Gran Gran, a children's animated television series following JoJo, an inquisitive and cheerful 4-and-a-half-year-old girl and her loving Gran Gran, who always has something new to teach her.
A troop of 150 chimpanzees. That's not a typo — it's the largest chimp community ever recorded in Africa, and they all live in one stretch of forest in Uganda. Sir David Attenborough takes you inside their world in this clip from BBC's Planet Earth, and it's not exactly peaceful. Chimps are unusual among jungle animals — they move just as easily through the treetops as they do on the ground, which comes in handy when your diet depends on finding enough fig trees to feed 150 mouths. But a community this size needs serious territory to sustain it, and that means defending it.
Watch as the troop uses coordinated calls to launch a raid into a rival group's land. Once they cross into enemy territory, everything changes: the calls stop, the pace slows, and every chimp is on high alert, listening for signs of who — and how many — they're up against.
It's a side of chimpanzees you don't usually see: strategic, tense, and surprisingly military in style. Great conversation starter for anything on animal behavior, group dynamics, or how intelligence shows up in unexpected ways.
In Building Community Gardens, Ranger Hamza and the Ramblers visit an allotment or a community garden. They learn how gardens are spaces to grow food and to engage with nature. Then they come across a compost pile and investigate why worms and robins are also at the compost pile. This video is excerpted from BBC's Ranger Hamza’s Eco Quest, a nature exploration show in which Ranger Hamza and the Ramblers go on quests to discover nature’s wonders and the important role they play in our environment.
Fallowlees Farm offers a place for urban women and girls to grow crops and experience nature, while also donating all of the food produced to those in need. Birthed as a project to counter isolation during the pandemic, over 4,000 women and girls have now found support and community through their time on the farm. This video is excerpted from BBC News.
In The Buffalo Rebirth at Fort Belknap, host Simon Reeve visits Fort Belknap, where George Horse Capture shares insights about the struggles his people faced when forced onto reservations. He explains how the near-extinction of buffalo, once central to Native American culture, nearly wiped out his community’s way of life. However, there's hope as buffalo are being brought back through the American Prairie Reserve, helping to restore an important part of his ancestors’ heritage. This video is excerpted from BBC’s The Americas With Simon Reeve, in which Simon Reeve explores the landscapes, cultures, and wildlife of North and South America.
