Series about the European Green Belt by filmmaker Alice Whitehouse (2024)
In her five-part documentary series about the former Iron Curtain, the young filmmaker and National Geographic Explorer Alice Whitehouse brings you closer to the European Green Belt. The National Geographic funded series takes us along the Baltic coast, and Scandinavia to the shores of the Adriatic and Black Seas and reveals how the former Iron Curtain transitioned into a “lifeline” that offers precious habitats for often rare and endangered species.

How did the concept of the European Green Belt evolve and how successful has it been? BBC reporter Tom Heap takes you to fascinating places and people who are active to conserve the precious places along the European Green Belt.
