DORMOUSE DETECTIVES, 52min., Germany
Directed by Rosie Koch, Roland Gockel
Garden dormice are supposed to be at home all over Europe. But recently they have started to go missing. A disappearance so mysterious, that researchers and conservationists have hurried to form a special task force of unprecedented size and scope. Their investigation focuses on possible causes for the massive decline in the cute rodent’s numbers. Time is of the essence. Only if the Dormouse Detectives manage to solve this puzzling case, they may still be able to save the species.

A FIGHING CHANCE, 12min,. USA
Directed by Rob McAllister
The Klamath Basin on the California-Oregon border has historically been home to a vast array of interconnected wetlands. These wetlands have long provided vital benefits for nature and people, ranging from water storage and filtration, flood protection, carbon storage, and important refuge for a diverse array of birds and other wildlife species. Over time, however, these wetlands have almost entirely been lost through damming and draining. There is hope - a critical collaboration between landowners, scientists and government agencies are fighting to save the Klamath through new partnerships. Through the eyes of the Dowitcher, we uncover the work that is being done in these critical habitats.
