The second series of Nature Inc. is up-and-running on BBC World News. Click here for the current schedule.

Meanwhile viewers on other broadcasters such as TSR in Switzerland, WHRM in Guyana, MEDI1SAT in North Africa and the Middle East, CARIBVISION in the Caribbean, OTV Oceania in the Pacific Islands and DirecTV in the USA can still see Series 1 again. Al Jazeera World and The Discovery Channel USA also still have it.

"We thought we’d get a lot of complaints about price-tagging the services the web of life provides to sustained economic growth", says Nature Inc. Executive Producer, Robert Lamb. "But nearly all the audience reaction has been positive, with the take up of the first series on broadcasters other than the BBC a real boost to our small team."

"Perhaps the global recession has made viewers more aware of the ‘eco’ in economics", says Lamb. As IUCN Director General, Julia Marton Lefevre says in STANDING PROFITS, the 5th in the current series, "The crisis in nature is the real credit crunch."

While never downplaying the environmental crisis, as in the first series Nature Inc. goes out of its way to feature ‘scaled-up’ cases where investment in sustainable use of nature is bringing dividends:  in Cuba lives and property are protected from hurricanes by extending coastal protective forest cover; in Bangladesh solar is helping lift households out of desperate poverty and a new breed of scientists is helping business to exploit biomimicry - while a new kind of business approach looks to make money out of standing, native forests.

"We are grateful to our main sponsor, Audemars Piguet, for making this innovative series possible", says Geneva-based co-Executive Producer, Bernard Robert Charrue. "Our aim is to make Nature Inc. a staple part of international broadcasters programming".
