2019-2020: Wild Cuba: A Caribbean Journey - Part 2
In the second of this two-part series, Colin Stafford-Johnson continues his journey in Cuba, one of the most captivating islands in the world. Here, he encounters bats emerging from a labyrinth of limestone caves to feed on nectar from giant hibiscus flowers, and tiny frogs, smaller than a fingernail, living in patches of hidden emerald forest. And on the white sand beaches, baby green turtles emerge from their nests to make their way to the sparkling Caribbean sea.\n\nOn his journey, Colin also sees how the modern world is impacting this island paradise, meeting endangered Cuban crocodiles and parrots under pressure from habitat loss. As he travels, Colin gives unique and personal insight into the extraordinary animals and magical landscapes he finds, revealing the very best that wild Cuba has to offer.
