'Born to be Wild' 7th anniversary series starts this Sunday

The Philippines’ pioneering nature and wildlife series is now on its 7th year! The Born to be Wild team led by hosts, Doc Ferds Recio and Doc Nielsen Donato, has travelled the entire Philippines and neighboring Asian countries to bring viewers close encounters with the wild. For the program’s seventh anniversary, Doc Ferds and Doc Nielsen go on dream journeys to Central Europe and South Africa!

Although he’s been a vet for more than two decades now, Doc Nielsen is still excited to see animals for the first time. The wild vet finally fulfils his dream to see the Big Five of South Africa, and majestic marine mammals like the Southern Right Whale. Another must see from Doc Nielsen’s journey is his face to face encounter with none other than the Great White Shark!

Doc Ferds Recio explores the streets of Europe to see how cities are adapting to the changing environment. In episode one, Doc Ferds finds himself in Venice, where he witnesses a city built around water with its endless canals. Even with its world-renowned beauty, Venice must still work around nature to ensure its own survival from threats of flooding and subsidence.

 

This November, join Doc Ferds and Doc Nielsen as they discover the wildlife of South Africa and learn more about the environment from Europe’s history.
