"Dadia" [With English subtitles]
Episode 5
Ilias and Grigoris visit the border region of Evros to explore the Dadia-Lefkimi-Soufli Forest National Park, one of Greece's most important protected areas. An an integral part of the National Park and its rich biodiversity, the Black Vulture uses the area as its last refuge for nesting in the entire Balkans. However, their investigation is abruptly interrupted by an unpleasant surprise. The beautiful, vibrant landscape is abruptly shattered by a vast expanse of charred earth left in the wake of the August 2023 wildfire. The images are harsh to watch. Will the forest be able to regenerate and return to its former state? Can the Black Vulture and other iconic species survive? Who is ultimately to blame for the wildfires? The protagonists of Wild Greece seek to answer all these questions as they traverse a haunting landscape of complete devastation.
