Description
The National Parks in Norway include Rondane, Dovrefjell, Jotunheimen and Jostedalsbreen. Along with the fjords they add up to an enormous ecosystem with many varied ecotypes. The rhythm of winter and summer, water and snow keep changing the landscape. The glaciers provide the rivers and lakes with water. The rivers for their part cut the deep valleys. In this way a region developed which some people might find breathtaking, while others consider it to be bare and dull. For over 200 years, amateur and professional botanists used to come to Dovrefjell National Park from around the world to study and enjoy the unique, rich mountain flora. The area also boasts a practically intact mountain fauna with wild reindeer, wolverine, Arctic fox and golden eagles. Particularly unusual are the musk oxen that settled here after being introduced in 1932 and 1947-53. Previously, this was the natural habitat of this ancient species, but they died out in Europe during the last ice age. This 28 minutes documentary is part of the tv-series WONDERS of WILDERNESS and is available on DVD at WWW.FAUNAFILM.NL The 12-part series colourfully introduces a dozen of the worlds most important national parks with their rich flora, fauna and awe-inspiring geological wonders. The series demonstrates the wisdom of the national park founders who made it possible to create safe havens for plant and animal life. They led the way in teaching us how vital it is to protect our soil, air and water from pollution both for ourselves and for future generations.
