Tibet, le chemin des vents

From the tropical rainforest in Papua New Guinea to the Mongolian taiga, people from indigenous cultures worldwide are fighting to preserve their forests. Whether through reforestation in the Amazon rainforest or the fight against pollution of the boreal forest in Canada, the series shows in five episodes the great importance of forests for our planet.

In the Darhat valley in northern Mongolia, the horses of nomadic tribes are stolen by bandits who then sell them to Russian slaughterhouses. Shukhert, a brave horseman, relentlessly pursues them through the Mongolian taiga, bordering Siberia.

The Taiga, also known as the boreal forest, represents about 17% of the Earth's surface and has the highest density of rivers and natural springs in the world. In Mongolia, its primary forests and pure waters have kept an entire population nomadic on its lands for thousands of years.
