In Can Oil and Conservation Coexist?, host Simon Reeve explores the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) in Alaska, where he visits the small coastal Iñupiat community of Kaktovik — the only settlement in this 19-million-acre wilderness. He investigates the heated debate over protecting the refuge vs. oil drilling, as the people explain how oil companies have brought life-changing benefits like running water, modern homes, and longer life expectancy. This video is excerpted from BBC’s The Americas With Simon Reeve, in which Simon Reeve explores the landscapes, cultures, and wildlife of North and South America.
In All About the California Conservation Corps, host Simon Reeve heads deep into the forests of California to discover the work of the California Conservation Corps. In the Sierra Nevada Mountains, he discovers the urgent need to cut down millions of dead trees — killed by drought, climate change and bark beetles — before they fuel wildfires. Alongside his guide, he hears how this work has not only helped to save forests but also changed lives. This video is excerpted from BBC’s The Americas With Simon Reeve, in which Simon Reeve explores the landscapes, cultures, and wildlife of North and South America.
