Nature Documentaries in Spain

During the streaming boom and the lockdown in 2020, nature documentaries reached historic consumption peaks, a trend that continues today, supported by the development of new windows of exploitation such as fast channels. In Spain, content production companies in this documentary sub-genre have benefited from technological democratization - drones are now available where helicopters were previously needed - and offer high-quality products on very tight budgets. This means that Spanish documentaries continue to be highly appreciated by the main international buyers.

THE LAST VOLCANO
The documentary explores the scientific details of the last volcanic process in Europe and the most long-lasting one in the Canarian Island of La Palma.  This has been one of the more destructive volcanic eruptions in the world.   One year after the first outbreak, we see the first technical and scientific conclusions about a natural event that has transformed the geography, the society and the economy of an island already used to live with volcanos.  Experts who worked in the field share for the very first time, in this documentary, their results which will determine future volcanic studies.

The Wind Sentries
The Wind Sentries follows a study campaign by biologist Laura Gangoso on the remote islet of Alegranza in the northern Canary Islands. Over the course of more than 17 years studying the Eleonora's falcon population on this arid site, Laura has discovered a surprising synchronization of the falcon with the trade winds, on which it depends for survival. Her work links the survival of this species' nestlings to changes in wind patterns on a global scale, making them bioindicators of climate change.
