Unless they leave traces: like the dormouse raiding the supplies in our pantry, the marten nibbling the cables of our cars, or the fox roaming a chicken run.

At that time, the term ecological footprint was not used, but it was one of the motifs that sent him on the road to voluntary exile - the countryside, the Sudetenland, a small village in Krnov, where the scars of the changes caused by the displacement of the original German population are still visible. In the urban structure of the villages or in the relationships between people who are not rooted here. The countryside is extremely interested in him. He enjoys it, but also explores how it changes. And he compares the Czech with the countryside around the world.

	The charity project Kola pro Afrika has been operating in the Czech Republic since 2012. Its mission is to enable African children to travel to education. It is based on the principles of donation, volunteering, cooperation and people's own initiative. An interesting paradox is that people from the margins of the society (prisoners, homeless people) who also get a "second chance" participate in the project, and in addition to the humanitarian dimension, the project also gets an ecological dimension in the form of so-called soul ecology. All this reveals a documentary on the background of the journey of a particular round donated by a Czech girl to her Gambia contour.

While the famous historical Karolina coking plant from the center of Ostrava has disappeared decades ago, the Svoboda coking plant of OKK Koksovny in Přívoz has remained. Of course, the situation is incomparable, yet there are people who have gathered evidence of how seriously the coking plant is threatening the environment in one of the most polluted cities in the Czech Republic, as it is a risk to the health of its inhabitants ...

28	Name	Magical depths - Ponds and dams
	Country	Czechia
	Director	Pavel Jirásek
	Script	Pavel Jirásek
	Duration	26 min.	Year	2018
	Are there clean water ponds and dams where plants, fish and other animal species can be easily observed? Yes! And this is a fabulous world inviting you to Lucie Výborná. Directed by P. Jirásek Artificial water reservoirs have, from time immemorial, shaped the character of the Czech and Moravian landscape. The ponds do not belong only to South Bohemia, but their cascades originated all over our territory, with the exception of mountain areas. At present, we have about one third of the ponds in comparison with the situation at the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries, yet they are extremely important works of water management. Pond, respectively. pond systems can hold water in the landscape more effectively than a dam. Small shaded water areas in hot weather better evaporation, the pond can also saturate the water and surrounding subsoil. From a diving point of view, it is quite difficult to investigate life beneath their surface, ponds used to breed cyprinids tend to be murky. An exception is the Big Bolevecký Pond near Pilsen, or some small ponds near sandstone rock towns with crystal tributaries. The observation of dam life is then dependent on the time of year, some of the reservoirs are cleaned in the spring and sometimes in the autumn due to natural processes - but this window is not longer than a few days. Normally diving requires a flashlight and strong nerves as visibility drops to one meter and almost no sunlight penetrates into the depths. Dam reservoirs, however necessary for today's civilization, pose an environmental burden: they destroy species diversity and store phosphorus and nitrogen-saturated mud that causes cyanobacterial overgrowth. However, visually, the world of dams and ponds is fascinating and one of the most beautiful in our nature.

29	Name	Places of life
	Country	Czechia
	Director	Jakub Skalický
	Script	Jakub Skalický
	Duration	52 min.	Year	2017
	The story of a landscape that has lost its body and would like to regain it. About how one gets what he needs - but how he should return what he borrows. The documentary should introduce the viewer to the theme of industrial landscapes, the principles of habitat functioning and to show how we can "cultivate" such a bitop if we follow the rules. Should human intervention in the landscape always be seen as its destruction? Does the restoration of landscape functionality, ie its reclamation, actually make sense when the landscape, or nature, can regenerate itself fairly? When does human aid land well, and when does it go wrong?

	Country	United Kingdom
	Director	Matthew Wrigh, Steven Clarke
	Script	Ed Fields
	Duration	60 min.	Year	2019
	An innovative wilderness series will introduce the most inhospitable areas of the world. In six episodes, we explore the extreme depths and altitudes, the colder and hottest spots, wetlands and landscapes, and see how animals have adapted to survive in such hostile conditions. Often these will be really unusual methods. In addition, over the past 40 years, when the country has changed most in the past 65 million years, we have made it even more difficult for animals. In order not to die, the animals had to change their ways of survival in a single evolution. On the one hand, many species face inherently inhospitable natural and weather conditions, on the other hand, unsustainable danger from predators and intense struggle for livelihoods. Their choice is clear - to adapt, otherwise become extinct.
