National Geographic trips from Tremiti to Titanic

The portrait of one of the fathers of biodiversity, Nikolai Vavilov ended up the target of the Stalinist purges, the relationship with pets in the most absolute forms of devotion or obsession but also the search for an unexplored forest of black coral on the seabed of the Tremiti Islands. Continuing with a path alongside the great primatologist Jane Goodall or an immersion to discover the wreck of the Titanic. They are among the extraordinary travels and portraits, which in days of self isolation within the walls of the home, offers National Geographic, in the coming weeks.
'The charge of the 106', broadcast on Nat Geo Wild on Sunday 29 March at 21.10, enters the daily life of people who in Britain have made the choice to dedicate their lives to their pets. From Tamara, who shares the house with 106 dogs and struggles every day to make ends meet to a retiree who runs a weekly market stall to provide for his 30 disabled cats or a woman who lives with 34 Pomeranian dogs.
On March 30 at 9:55 pm on National Geographic in the new episode of Cosmos: Odyssey In Space the American astrophysicist and scientific popularizer Neil deGrasse Tyson tells us about the Russian geneticist and botanist Nikolai Vavilov, who with his research and his travels to the five continents, he had put together a treasure trove of seeds from all over the world with which he dreamed of being able, through science, to end world hunger. Theories that put him in conflict with the official Stalinist Soviet Union so much that he was accused of being an anti-revolutionary conspirator and a spy was sentenced in 1941 in a farce to death trial. The sentence, shortly thereafter, was imposed in 20 years in prison but he was already very tried, he died in 1943, it seems by starvation, at only 56 years old.
From 1 April, 'The Hidden Treasure Of The Tremiti Islands' will be available on Nationalgeographic.it, on the expedition led by Giovanni Chimienti, marine biologist of the University of Bari and National Geographic Explorer, in search of a submerged natural treasure: an unexplored coral forest black on the seabed of the Tremiti Islands. A rare variety of coral, already known by the ancient Greeks, that grows at great depths: to find it, diving is required more than 60 meters below sea level. Off the Tremiti islands only small colonies have been found, but never an entire forest. Such a discovery would open many scientific research and conservation scenarios of the area, which needs to be protected above all from illegal fishing. On the occasion of Earth Day, on April 22 at 20.55 on National Geographic, Jane Goodall - A Future For The Earth will be proposed, a documentary that follows the great primatologist and activist in his commitment to defend chimpanzees and to raise awareness among new generations. Paths that lead her to meetings, among others, with the students of Zanzibar, the giants of Silicon Valley and royals of England. "One million species are threatened with extinction - explained Jane Goodall in a recent interview with the New York Times -. The planet has limited natural resources and in some places we have used them faster than Nature can supply them. we can continue on this path ". Finally Titanic: Return To The Abyss (on National Geographic On April 27, at 8:55 pm) will show one of the first manned dives to discover the wreck of the ocean liner. A team of experts films what is left of the ship in 4K and for the first time a previously unidentified part of the wreck will be analyzed, leaving an experimental platform on the seabed capable of predicting the future of the Titanic.
