Award winning BBC Studios Science Production Unit has announced at MIPCOM a co-production Our Home: Wild Guangdong (w/t) with China’s Guangdong Radio and Television (GRT). GRT is a new type of provincial-level mainstream media that provides multiple services on radio, television, OTT TV, mobile client as well as in radio and television transmission.

Travelling across China’s most populous province, Our Home: Wild Guangdong (w/t) will take viewers on an unprecedented journey showcasing how the region’s unique geography, microclimate and landscapes have created a thriving oasis for wildlife, living side-by-side among the region’s approximately 130 million people.

Treating audiences to breathtaking views, from dramatic coastlines and pristine islands, to mountain forests and lush river deltas, even oases within the cities.  This three-part series will delve deep into the heart of the province’s many and varied ecosystems, highlighting the animals, plants and people that call it home.

Guangdong lies on the Tropic of Cancer, a circle of latitude that encircles the entire globe. Most of it is desert. Yet rather than a dry, arid wasteland, Guangdong is different, it is a verdant, rich region of incredible diversity. Local experts and cutting-edge science will allow viewers to discover the secrets behind Guangdong’s spectacular habitats. Witnessing never-before-seen footage of rare, extraordinary animals, many of them unique to Guangdong, audiences will also discover how humans are learning to live in harmony  alongside the  natural world, following the province’s farmers, rangers and conservationists seeking to protect it for future generations.

Andrew Cohen, Head of BBC Studios Production’s Science Unit says: “We are incredibly proud and privileged to be partnering with Guangdong Radio and Television on this ambitious project. The series will share the beauty of Guandong to audiences around the world, showcasing the myriad of different environments that make this such a unique and inspiring part of the natural world.”

Lin Qingjian, Director of  GRT International Department said of Our Home: Wild Guangdong:  “We are glad to partner with BBC Studios, Britain’s leading content studio, to showcase the incredible beauty of Guangdong to audiences across China and the world.  We look forward to cooperating on further programming projects”.

BBC Studios will be located at P0.E1 within the Palais des Festivals Verrière section at the market.
