Place reservation for The life cycle : 8,000 miles in the Andes by bamboo bikePedalling hard for 13 months, eco adventurer Kate Rawles cycled the length of the Andes on an eccentric bicycle she built herself. 'The Life Cycle' charts her mission to find out why biodiversity is so important, what's happening to it, and what can be done to protect it. From the Pacific Ocean to rainforests and salt flats, Kate learns that armadillos can cross rivers by holding their breath, that Colombia has more species of birds than North America and Europe combined, and that in threatening species and ecosystems, we're tearing down our own life support system. En route, she witnesses the devastation of goldmining and oil drilling but finds hope in the incredible people working to regenerate habitats and communities. As she reaches the 'end of the world', she realises that to tackle biodiversity loss we all have a role to play.
