Synopsis

Daintree National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is the focus of biologist Peter Byrnes and his team as they study its unique rainforest ecosystem from a crane.

Synopsis

Am Daintree Nationalpark treffen immergrüner Regenwald und das einzigartige Great Barrier Riff aufeinander. Das tropische Gebiet, das zum Weltkulturerbe zählt, wirkt wie ein unberührtes Fleckchen Erde aus einer weit zurückliegenden Vergangenheit. Dass es auch in Zukunft noch existiert, daran arbeitet der Biologe Peter Byrnes mit seinem Team auf einer abgelegenen Forschungsstation mitten im Regenwald. Hier erlebt man den Regenwald mal aus einer anderen Perspektive, denn ein riesiger Baukran erlaubt den Forschern einen Blick in und über die Baumkronen.
