Plot Synopsis

EUROPE'S NEW WILD is a documentary series that chronicles the resurgence of wildlife across the European continent in the most unexpected places. As conservationists give nature a helping hand, each one-hour episode examines how ecosystems are being restored, providing a new chance for Europe's most iconic wildlife to thrive among its breathtaking landscapes. EUROPE'S NEW WILD made its U.S. debut on Wednesday, February 3, 2021 at 10pm on PBS (check local listings).

"The Missing Lynx" (Wednesday, February 3, 2021): Across the Iberian Peninsula, food chains and ecosystems are restored, allowing a host of endangered animals, including the Iberian Lynx -- the rarest cat in the world -- to flourish once again.

"Return of the Titans" (Wednesday, February 10, 2021): In Europe's Carpathian Mountains, the introduction of Bison is helping numerous other species to prosper while just beyond this mountainous region, Gray Wolves are staging an astonishing return.

"Europe's Amazon" (Wednesday, February 24, 2021): The Danube is the largest preserved wetland on the continent and a sanctuary for thousands of species, where many are the last of their kind. Conservationists are working to preserve and restore these precious habitats before it's too late.

"The Land of the Snow and Ice" (Wednesday, March 17, 2021): Sami reindeer herders and modern conservationists are teaming up in a bid to save one of Europe's wildest frontiers. Through ice and snow, the link between man and wild is being reforged.

Although PBS aired the program as a four-part series, EUROPE'S NEW WILD originally debuted as a six-part documentary with these two additional episodes: "Saving Europe's Bears" and "The Scavengers Return." EUROPE'S NEW WILD previously aired on Nat Geo WILD in most countries, as well as WWF, France 5, Redbull/Servus TV and SVT.
