Frogs: The Thin Green Line
Editor
An examination of the extinction threat faced by frogs, which have hopped on Earth for some 250 million years and are a crucial cog in the ecosystem. Scientists believe they've pinpointed a cause for the loss of many of the amphibians: the chytrid fungus, which flourishes in high altitudes. Unfortunately, they don't know how to combat it. Included: an isolated forest in Panama that has yet to be touched by the fungus, thus enabling frogs to live and thrive as they have for eons.

La vida secreta de los gatos
Herself (Narrator)
A pesar de su fama de independientes, ariscos e interesados, lo cierto es que los gatos son las mascotas más populares del mundo y sus dueños demuestran por ellos una pasión sin límites. Pero, ¿qué saben realmente de ellos? ¿A dónde va cuando sale por la gatera? ¿Cómo es su comportamiento en el exterior? ¿Es tan fuerte el vínculo entre los gatos y sus propietarios como éstos creen? Un equipo de científicos ha puesto en marcha un innovador e impactante experimento gatuno: una cincuentena gatos, vecinos de un pequeño pueblo del Reino Unido, han sido equipados con collares GPS y cámaras de visión nocturna para registrar sus movimientos durante dos semanas. El objetivo es descubrir sus pautas de comportamiento, conocer su visión del mundo mientras hacen la ronda nocturna por los jardines de los vecinos, comprobar si siguen un itinerario fijo y si son territoriales y entender mejor cómo funcionan sus agudísimos sentidos.
