In the third and final part of "The Bison Haze" we are taken on a trip to the nation's capital to see what legislators are doing about the Bison issue. There are passionate people on both sides of the debate trying to convince people who might have never even seen a bison that they should be hazed or left alone. Is brucellosis a real threat from the bison? Will ranchers really loose out if the Bison are left to roam outside the boundaries of Yellowstone? Is there a bigger issue here about the sanctity of our national parks? Watch episode three to find out!

In Part three of "Ranching the New West" Duke Phillips tells us why he believes so strongly that cattle grazing is vital for the grasslands of the American West. There is a way to ranch that fits in with the natural system and replaces the wild systems that were there before. After all, Ranchers want to maintain a profitable industry and as Duke says: "If we're going to stay in business we have to create a nature that is stronger tomorrow than it is today".

There's a new model of ranching emerging that emphasizes a holistic view of the ranch as a multi-dimensional resource and not just a home for cattle. Duke Phillips of Colorado is a pioneer in this approach, which provides him with a viable living, but also aligns his mission with tourists, environmentalists, and much of the general public. His ranch is proving that the maximization of profits with disregard to all other concerns is not a requirement for a rewarding vocation and lifestyle. Check out this episode of TERRA to see how Duke is "Ranching the New West"!

In part two of Higher Ground, the battle over Florida's beaches continues. In the middle of this conflict between developers and preservationists are the sea turtles which use this fragile habitat as nesting ground. Are beaches for people or turtles? Can both peacefully co-exist? Watch the second half of the debate in this episode of TERRA.

The Florida coast line is constantly shifting. Natural processes move the sand back and forth, north and south and occasionally a big storm removes it altogether. Of course unnatural processes are also affecting the beaches of the area. Huge sky scrapers, miles of beach front condos and the constant pressure of holiday makers on the beach. All these factors are playing their part on the ecosystem and the animals within it. Watch "Higher Ground" to find out where we're going wrong and what we can do about it.

What could a conservation organization, a group of Buddhist monks and a really big fish all have in common? They come together in a small part of Mongolia known as The Eg-Uur Watershed Area where some amazing things are happening. "The Tributary Fund" is an organization that protects ecosystems around the world by combining conservation and culture. In 2004 they started a project with the Eg-Uur Buddhist monks to both rebuild their monastery, which was destroyed over seventy years ago, and to help the community find ways of protecting their waterways and the endangered Taimen - the largest species of salmon in the world. All this is achieved by finding a common ground between the teachings of Buddhism and environmentally sound conservation practices. Join Filmmaker Ian Kellett as he tells us the story of "Buddha and the Big Fish".

In Part Two of "The Story of Stuff" we find out how the system of buying goods actually works and why it has developed the way it has. Why do we always feel like we need more stuff? Why don't things last like they did fifty years ago? Why are we all working so much more than we used to? And how does this all relate to the countries that manufacture our products? 99% of all our stuff is thrown in the trash within six months of us buying it. The reality is alarming - it's time we learnt about it and starting making changes. Check out www.storyofstuff.com

Do you ever wonder where all the things in your house really come from? For example, where did each of the componants in your computer get made? Where did they get shipped from and how much did it cost to assemble them? Moreover, what impact did making your computer have on other people? "The Story of Stuff" is about just that - what impact is our comsumer-driven society having on other people, cultures and countires and ultimately, ourselves. It's surprisingly straightforward, yet how many of us know the true cost of our way of life and how easy it would be to change our attitudes and behavior if we just made the effort?
