Program Description:

In this floating wetland of white flowers, preserved and looked after by the local community, Sue Ellen discovers why this is such a special place for birds. Hawks fly over head, ibises and egrets feed, and nearby the world's largest storks nest. Sue Ellen catches a glimpse of baby Jabiru storks in their nest with their giant five-foot tall parent attending. In the nearby savannas, she finds evidence of jaguar. She also talks to an archaeologist of the Mayan past here, when this wetland was part of a extensive transportation system and when the jungle-covered temples glimpsed in the distance, were once in daily use.
