Britain's Distant Lands - The Wildlife of the UK Overseas Territories
Britain’s Distant Lands showcases and celebrates the astounding diversity of animals, plants, landscapes, cultures and history of the UK Overseas Territories.
The sixteen UK Overseas Territories are scattered across all seven seas, from the Equator to the South Pole.
They harbour lush tropical rainforest, pristine coral reefs and Antarctic tundra, as well as some of the world’s largest penguin, albatross and sea turtle populations.
More than one thousand unique plant and animal species call the UK Overseas Territories home, as do 270,000 British subjects united by a proud cultural heritage and many unique stories.
A DVD version of this film was sent to 10,000 schools across the UK and the UK Overseas Territories as part of the 2019 Hanson Box (see ).

Conservation Lessons of the UK Overseas Territories
Watch the three-part Britain's Treasure Islands documentary series on BBC FOUR, starting Tue 12 Apr 2016 21:00. (repeated Wed 13 Apr 2016 20:00).
The 14 UK Overseas Territories have 20 times the biodiversity of the UK, including over 1,000 unique species that occur nowhere else on earth. As remote islands and peninsulas, the UK Overseas Territories harbour fragile ecosystems that have been severely impacted by human activities, introduced non-native species and countless other processes. Hundreds of species across the Territories are now at the bring of extinction, but the dedicated and determined efforts of conservationists on all of the UK Overseas Territories are working to safeguard the Territories' wildlife for the world of tomorrow. This film follows a few of the conservation stories from across the Territories.
Please note: although complementary to the BBC FOUR series, the 40 short mini-documentaries are not commissioned or editorially overseen by BBC.

Britain's Distant Seas - The Waters of the UK Overseas Territories
The waters of the UK Overseas Territories are Britain’s distant seas.
They grant the UK the world’s 5th largest ocean estate and the 12th largest area of coral reefs.
Spanning over 5.5 million km2, these remote watery tracts of the UK are scattered over all Seven Seas and are home to every major aquatic ecosystem on Earth, including temperate kelp forests, tropical coral gardens, seagrass beds, deep sea plains and trenches, little-explored seamounts and recently-discovered ‘black smoker’ geothermal vents.
Countless species of aquatic animals live or feed in the waters around the UK Overseas Territories, including immense numbers of invertebrates, vast shoals of reef fish, whale sharks, rays, dolphins, sea turtles, penguins and seals!
Large expanses of the waters around the UK Overseas Territories remain little explored, and new species and extraordinary discoveries continue to be made.
This documentary explores the astounding marine biodiversity of Britain's Distant Seas.
A DVD version of this film was sent to 20,000 schools across the UK and the UK Overseas Territories as part of the 2020 Hanson Box (see ).
This film was made possible by the Don Hanson Charitable Foundation.
Created in partnership with Friends of the British Overseas Territories.
