But then he met a wild Waldrapp - an ibis species that was considered extinct in Europece since 500 years. That was the trigger for Marian's passion for the bald ibis.

He has not seen it again in the wild, but the bird is part of a rearing project that aims to reintroduce it to its breeding grounds north of the Alps and its winter habitat in Tuscany. The birds will be trained for the first flights on their old routes over the Alps. Marian helps as often as he can.

Pangolin trafficking

This is a pangolin. The most trafficked mammal in the world. Before you get to know what a pangolin is, it will most probably already be extinct. Please help to rescue the pangolin by financing our film. Get in contact with info@pangolin-doxx.com (Pangolin Doxx Films). A pangolin foetus soup is supposed to increase or enhance male virility. The scales are used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat rheumatism and arthritis. However, the success of these treatments has not been proven!

World pangolin day is on 18 February 2017!

Grimme Award nomination for - Jonas larger than life

The film Jonas larger than life by Bernadette Hauke was nominated for the Grimme Award 2016.

Jonas is short-lived from birth. With his twelve years he has just reached 1.20 meters. When Jonas is grown up, he will be at most 1.40 meters tall. No easy situation for the charming and lifeless boy. But nothing can bring Jonas down. In many everyday situations he has developed his own strategies. With his "pinguin technique" he can not fall down the stairs. In the meantime, he is no longer annoyed when other people stare at him. The twelve-year-old has not been intimidated for a long time.
