Nature Tracks – The Big Spill

The Cape Sea Route is an environmental timebomb. Ageing tankers round the Southern Peninsula at least once every 12 hours, laden with toxic cargo. Sooner or later, one of these ships is bound to fall victim to a Cape winter storm. This episode of “On Track” takes a look at the disaster in the light of the Apollo Sea spill of June 1994 where thousands of oiled penguins faced certain death. This award winning, awe inspiring, documentary series deals with all things African. We look at the fascinating diversity and lives of the African wildlife….from the lush rainforests, to the arid desert sands to the vast oceans surrounding the continent. We also explore the rich diversity of cultures and traditions of the various peoples and regions of this magical land; and, investigate the fragile African environments and man’s interaction with her delicate ecosystems. Each program is headed up by a “Did you know” segment: an entertaining, even humorous, short subject followed by a fascinating feature story. Your whole family will enjoy this visual experience.
