What Happens When Humans Disappar? Wildlife's Remarkable Comeback During COVID (Documentary, 2023)

April 2020: COVID19 is forcing people around the globe to restrict their freedom of movement. Suddenly, humans were significantly less omnipresent than they usually are. Suddenly, there was silence. How did wildlife respond to this unique break from humans? Although the COVID19 pandemic has resulted in a tragic global crisis, it also represents an extraordinary opportunity to study the impact of our human actions on wildlife. An experiment unlike anything anyone could have ever orchestrated. With impressive footage, the film accompanies scientists in their exciting project of researching the behavior of various animal species during the "anthropause". The results show a complex picture of necessities and chances for a better coexistence of humans and animals on our common planet. ------- Chapters ▷ 00:00 - Introduction ▷ 00:35 - COVID Lockdown Creates a Global "Anthropause" ▷ 01:21 - Orcas in Silence - Listening to an Empty Ocean ▷ 02:47 - What Ships Really Sound Like Underwater ▷ 03:43 - 2020: The Quietest Ocean in Modern History ▷ 04:52 - A Rare Scientific Opportunity - Studying Wildlife in Lockdown ▷ 07:01 - Italy's Lockdown - Bears in the Dolomites React ▷ 08:49 - Barriers & Fear - Why Bears Stay Away from Humans ▷ 10:21 - Lockdown Breakthrough - Bears Cross Into New Territory ▷ 12:32 - Are Animals Reclaiming Human Spaces? ▷ 13:18 - Global Teamwork - Building the COVID Wildlife Study ▷ 14:30 - How Human Footprints Shrink Animal Movement ▷ 15:28 - Deer Research in Italy - Tracking Life in a Human-Free Forest ▷ 19:20 - Wild Boars in Czech Forests - Forced Into Nightlife ▷ 20:30 - When Humans Come Back - Wildlife Reverts Instantly ▷ 23:46 - Bio-Logging Revolution - Millions of Data Points ▷ 27:31 - Animals Avoid Us More Than We Think ▷ 30:39 - Paris Crows in Crisis - When Human Food Vanishes ▷ 33:22 - Tracking Urban Wildlife During Lockdown ▷ 37:00 - Berlin Gardens - Foxes, Martens, Raccoons Under Pressure ▷ 38:52 - Humans as a Hyper-Keystone Species ▷ 39:18 - Serengeti in Silence - Rhinos & Lions Change Behaviour ▷ 41:01 - Black Rhinos Venture Out - A Conversation Surprise ▷ 44:28 - Rhinos Run Farther With No Tourists Around ▷ 46:24 - When a Rhino Walks Into a Village... ▷ 47:05 - Fears of Poaching During Lockdown ▷ 48:34 - Global Patterns Emerge - Animals Move Farther ▷ 49:57 - Lessons From the Anthropause - Can We Change? ▷ 51:24 - Credits #documentary #animals #wildlife #nature #lockdown #covid19 #covid #pandemic #biodiversity #ecosystem #animalbehavior #animalplanet ------- Subscribe to wocomoWILDLIFE: https://goo.gl/L5puvQ Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wocomo ------- Original title: Sudden Silence - How Animals Reclaim a World in Lockdown A film by Susanne Maria Krauß © 2023, Licensed by Albatross ------- Videos about animals, aquatic life and nature: wocomoWILDLIFE offers high-quality entertainment.
