The Ushuaia Nature Team, in France, describes the natural beauties of a world close to us and full of surprises. At 2500 meters above sea level, Nicolas Hulot flies over the limestone plateau of Lozere with an ultralight. Under the plateau, a sort of cathedral made of stone and rainwater is discovered. The typical products of our agriculture can be helped by genetics, to avoid being victims of parasites. Giovanni Carrada and Filippo Amisano analyze the Italian way to biotechnology. Alberto Angela and Michelangelo Pepe visit the Villas of Stabia: the Beverly Hills of Pompeii. Destroyed by the eruption, they still preserve the vestiges of their original luxury. Under many deserts there are large basins of fossil water. Lorenzo Pinna and Caterina Borelli went to the Libyan desert to document the cyclopean work that is underway to exploit this submerged resource. Diseases, corporal punishment, illiteracy: childhood in the 1930s, in our country, was not as protected as it is today.
