Title: Our Nature
Character: Narrator (voice)
Released: January 18, 2023
Type: TV
We Belgians are modest by nature. But we don't have to be modest about Belgian nature. Not the leopard, but our peregrine falcon is the fastest animal in the world. The dwarf mouse weaves nests in the reeds as ingeniously as an African water bird. And if you think that our Kalmthoutse Heide is inferior in beauty to the African Savannah, then you should come back when the shrub heath transforms the dry plain into a sea of purple flowers. 'Our Nature' is an ambitious nature documentary about nature in our backyard. Beautiful stories about known and unknown animals that arouse wonder and increase love and respect for our nature. This is the story of the victors, the opportunists, the spendthrifts, the fighters, the smart ones, the bosses. But also that of the losers, the species that we may not encounter again in a few years... Survival of the fittest, in its most cruel and fascinating form, in a country where at first glance there seems to be no room for wild nature .
