Wild Port of Europe - Nature on the edge

Wild Port of Europe – Nature on the edge takes you into the unexpected story of all kinds of animals living in Europe’s largest and busiest port area.

In this fully industrialized landscape, where humans are constantly changing everything, animals seize their opportunities and make remarkable choices in the process. Wild Port of Europe shows that survival in this environment is a life on the edge. But it also mirrors nature’s challenges back to the human world, for we share an uncertain future.
