A new film series about animal behaviour and survival.
About a quarter of a million elephants are crowded into Africa's National Parks. To stay alive, each has to search for three or four hundred pounds of greenery daily. Is there enough to go round? Are there too many elephants?
Dr Harvey Crooze has been studying elephant behaviour at close quarters to try to find the answers.

Corsica - for tourists 'a sunlit jewel in the Mediterranean' - for many of the locals 'a last colony of France.' Derek Hart reports on the preparations for next week's French elections from an island where ballot boxes traditionally end up on the sea-bed.
French television also reports on the electorate in a very different atmosphere, a Northern market town, and on the campaign of two extremist candidates.

How do you make the future livable? In Vancouver, population one million, up to five million by 2025, housing land will run out by the year 2000. In Boulder, Colorado, the population has so mushroomed that people can enter some recreation areas by permit only. Alarmed for the future the citizens have cried: 'stop!' Stop economic and population growth and reallocate resources to improve our quality of life.
But how? Will people give up their demand for more consumer goods? Will they voluntarily limit their personal freedoms? This film shows the unique attempt by two cities to solve their growth problems. Do we, in this country, care sufficiently about the future to learn from their example?
