Saint Helena: Breathtaking nature in one of the most remote places on earth | DW Documentary
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 май 2022
- The small island of St. Helena in the South Atlantic is home to unique fauna and flora. Many of the more than 400 species living here are found nowhere else in the world. To ensure that it stays that way, the inhabitants are committed to preserving biodiversity in extraordinary ways.
It is one of the most remote, isolated corners of the world, a small island of volcanic origin in the southern Atlantic Ocean. Located between southern Africa and South America, the remote island became famous as the former French emperor Napoleon Bonaparte’s place of exile. Today, St. Helena is still a British overseas territory.
St. Helena is also an insider tip for explorers and true nature lovers. The main reason is its breath-taking natural beauty, which thrives in a temperate subtropical climate. In order to preserve their homeland and its unusual biodiversity, the locals - the "Saints", as the islanders proudly call themselves - decided to come together to protect it. Their achievements have surpassed all expectations.
A wildlife and nature film that showcases this unique island at the 'end of the world’ - and its astonishing environmental victories.

BRAVO!! To all the great people involved in keeping St Helena Island pristine.
I love how the locals speak, their accents are so unique, like something I've never heard before.
My father was on a troop ship sailing west across the Atlantic when WWll ended and they were all landed on St Helena. Ive loads of old photos he took during the next year.
That why he named you after the island?
Lol
can you uploAad them for history knowlegde?
God bless your Dad 👍
তোমাৰ দেউতাই খুব ভাল কাম কৰিছে বেটা
Thank you DW for such amazing documentaries!! You bring us closer to such isolated places.
Now big corporations are going to built big hotels and rich's steal the land from the natives
You're welcome
As soon as the white savages from Europe discovered Saint Helena (not it's real name) the biodiversity and population fell. Similar was the fate of many many
islands across the pacific, which collapsed rapidly once the Europeans took charge. These woke german turds are basically selling us tourism in the name of remote places and breathtaking balls.
Thank you Dw Documentary for this
You simply take us places we might never visit
Lets destroy the land and built hotels
My home island Madagascar needs this effort so desperately.
200% true
Yes, Tommy, you have forked that place royally up. Tripling the population since 1985, great work!!!
I like to move it move it🎶
Well, DO SOMETHING
*China* will help you.
It shows a testament to the indomitable spirit of the island's inhabitants. Their dedication to preserving this ecological wonderland is both heartwarming and inspiring. Thank you for sharing this incredible journey of conservation and triumph.
Thank you
The most fascinating feature in this video is the accents of the local Saints.. Glad to get an update from St Helena..
They sound like Australians.
Full respect to conservation team,u guys are doing an amazing job.
DW this is the 2nd video you’ve filmed of my home - again another awesome video.
DW didn't film it.
@@JazzFunkNobby1964o you did quite..rather interesting funky stuff man
This is an excellent documentary. Having been twice to St Helena (before the airport!) I am very pleased to see the progress made by the nature conservation groups involved. This is one of the most beautiful places I have visited, and I will never forget it.
Request DW to add english subtitles for each of their documentaries. It makes them lot easier to watch.
click the closed captions button. It's autogenerated but pretty good.
@@steveneggleston236 that I know. However, a tailor-made subtitle set from the creator would be icing on the cake.
It's a German production, you don't get programs from America with German subtitles unless sold as such. The auto generated subs are fine. Learn German kamerad, auf wiedersehen.
@@seltaeb9691 ok, since you are insisting. And DW is not gonna follow suit anyway but I would hope they really do in future.
@Simon McCreath "I love speaking German" is it, I don't speak it but liebe is love. I Liebe You! Ashenbecker is ashtray & bier is hic beer. Got taught that in the Army if posted to Germany back in the day or back now maybe.. Drie Bier Patron! Whar is ein Ashenbecker!! Dumkopf! Mein Got!
This serence documentary film gives peace to Our headtic way of life
After hearing about so much bad In the world it is nice to see good and life with such beautiful work that these people are doing thank you
It's an illusion my friend. This is not the truth of what is wrong. But we need to suffer hope
Beautiful visuals and beautiful female narration!
Thank you always DW!
Blessed to watch such places at comfort of my home
All thanks to dw documentary for delivering a beautiful, soothing experience of Saint Helena island 🏝️, really enjoyed the biodiversity of the island
Thank’s DW for this beautiful documentary of Saint Helena island.
Thank you for broadcasting this programme. Watched from beginning to end with enjoyment👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
God's wonderful creation.
I remember watching a video about the last Royal Mail ship. This is quite an interesting island.
Another wonderful DW documentary.
The most difficult thing about restoration of a forest, is its subterranean species. When a forest is clear cut, many of the species lost are the Fungi that grew beneath the soil.
Other insects, plants, and animals that lived in the forest are also lost without ever being discovered or documented. Trees can be replanted. But you cannot restore an entire ecosystem just by replanting the Trees.
Thankfully, in regard to the soil microbiology - specially fungi, most species can remain dormant for many years or even decades, reviving and regenerating when conditions are right. Invertebrates are not as hardy, but more hardy than vertebrates in terms of finding places to hide and things to eat when their habitat is attenuated.
@@TheJamesRedwood ⁷⁷⁷
@@SunriseLAW Plurals do not have apostrophes, other than that great joke!
But nature has its way. It may take several thousands years. But evolution will happen and species will keep changing , rising . Not the same ones we lost but what be best for nature. That will happen with humans gone. We are too self absorbed to even care for our own people at home. Caring for others or other species is long sighted
@@TheJamesRedwood Or it could be an apostrophe for "Fungi has always come back because they drive a spores car." heh.
Such a wonderful, timeless documentary from DW👍👍
What an amazing representation of nature! Bravo DW!
We don`t die - we just leaving earth, as saved souls - who go up into HEAVEN or as unsaved souls - who go down into torment.
Dear soul, read the bible - full of information and an introduction to who GOD is we should serve.
We, all - saved and unsaved will put on IMMORTALITY, so not a single part of us should perish, but be everlasting.
The torment that awaits for the unsaved: REGRETS, that do not get forgiven (feeling sorry so deeply that it hurts inside yet knowing the whole time (forever) that no forgiven is found for you any longer. Is that enough of the torment? - oh dear soul, no, you will be placed in the middle of a lake full of fire (not water) and you will burn and not dying, for even you, who stayed wicked sinner (unsaved soul) did put on immortality that even single part of you cannot perish, but be everlasting.
Now, tell me, is that not a torment?
We can have a piece of that torment even here, many of us have been felt sorry/regret of thing we have done- right? - now Imagen, not getting forgiven for rest of your days.
See, we are found already in torment, in a temporary torment.
In the lake of fire, THE TORMENT LAST FOREVER. DAY AND NIGHT WITHOUT ANY KIND OF REST. NO DAY(S) OFF.
Even if you have been there (in torment) already for millions and trillions of years, you`ll be there same long.
That`s the something, we are trying you all warn about. Instead of dying twice, you`ll choose LIFE. The life(promises) that GOD promise to give us , IF WE REPENT AND BORN AGAIN =GET SAVED.
“Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.”
Psalms 27:7 (KJV)

Wow...my first time to hear about Saint Helena in my 33 yrs of life....I'm researching on how to travel there,I love traveling
I’ve just found this on RUclips. Thank you DW. This is my home, born and bred. Beautiful place, beautiful people ❤
Thanks for watching and taking the time to share your thoughts :)
Why is St Helena Island called an island.?
@@rtoguidver3651 Because it is an island. British.
@@rosemaryfordham1778
What state & country is Saint Helena Island located - South Caorolina or Austrailia.? It doesn't look like SC.
@@rtoguidver3651 No , it’s not Carolina or Australia, it lies between South Africa and South America, British.
Smart Community work
Great job Remi and Alexandra - thanks! Go Saints!!
This is such a beautiful, scenic, serene and peaceful place with all its flora and fauna. It's really refreshing to see this kind of places to sort of relax and calm the mind, especially with all of the negative things that is happening in our world today.
This is just the begining of tragic times ahead. This is the frosting on the cake! 😭
True story. The left-wing madness is spreading all over the world, it will not end well...

DW IS MY MOST FAVOURITE CHANNEL. THE PROFFESSIONALISM AND EXCEPTIONAL WORK THEY DO IS ABSOLUTELY COMMENDABLE. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
These people are making a difference For sure Well done all
Top Notch documentary. Amazing place. Protect it at all cost
I would love to visit that beautiful island & the wonderful people that live there & protecting it . Really enjoyed the video .
On my Bucket List.
Hello Sasha, Lisa and Natasha The tree that you worried about which is the last species of its kind anywhere on the island it can be propagated.
1, pick a strong branch off of the tree you want to save, 1/2 an inch in diameter, or even ? Maybe ? One inch, a strong branch, of the ground about chest height.
2 next is to select a Part on the branch? Maybe about a foot from the end of it, you will see buds wanted to shoot out along the park edges as you go down the branch, find a healthy bud and the bark that is just below it maybe 1/2 inch ,has to be cleared away down to about 5 inches long, and as you’re clearing you may come across other smaller buds in that 5 inch strip, that’s all right continue clearing around it, down to just the sap layer.
3 now get some hide grade soil get a piece of plastic 78 inches long put the soil in the plastic throw it all around that expose layer that you cleared on your Diann tree rabbit hours soap to soil leave holes in the soil anaplastic wrap it several times keeping weather out but let in the moisture stay in and after six months of leaving that they’re wrapped in black tape top and bottom or even clear plastic, in six months or longer or shorter you may have roots now shooting from it and will have all the trees original natural Jean structure.
4 Last but not least after the roots are being seen cut your branch off below the roots system and go plant it somewhere in your historic garden.
I love your work hope this helps in a small way, I seen this type of propagation on the RUclips
By 4 now vj
Stunning nature, brilliant documentary 💚
DW take a bow 💐💐💐🙏🙏🙏
my home St Helena!
What a beautiful island 😀 Came across this documentary randomly. I love your people's accent 😊 It reminds me of Australia. What is the ethnicity of Saints?
Always great to observe nature from so close.
St Helena Island 🏝️ is the oldest with rich endemism.
wonder documentary :D brought some brightness to today's world :D
Beautiful video thank you for this video and thank you for your work and effort
Such a breathtakingly beautiful place.
Great video !
Watching DW Documentary become a habit.
Was about visiting last year but I had covid. Still can't wait to visit 🤗
As someone who's from the St. Helena, I still miss it.
Sasha Bargo and I went to the same school, she was a year below me
How was the life there compared to where you are living now?
@@kaanerdem2822 I live in the UK now but back home I felt more freedom without worrying, I was very adventurous I would go down to the sea or up the rocky hills in the countryside.
@@angelobrewster6293 How would one visit Helena from the US? 🙂
@@StrongnBeautiful Quite a few sailors stop there.
What a joy it was to watch this amazing video👌
Keep them coming👍
To Everyone Watching This Video Hope All is Well on Your Side😎
Be Happy 🤓.. 🤓.....
Extraordinary explanation with pictorial presentation help me to understand about the historical island, with her flora and fauna. Thank you DW team.
Learning something new here. Great doc.
Lets history how the Europeans and Americans and British came and robbed the land and killed people and now the natives are the immigrants
Good Luck with your conservation.
This is good. We are thankful.
Wide in scope, great information and relevant work in biodiversity, wonderful, amusing delivery. Congratulations!
Very educational
Great documentary 👏
Thanks for watching!
fantasztikus minden, a film, a hely, az allatok, az emberek, minden, koszi DW!!
as always deserve more than just a like, the wide range of vocabularies that have been used are excellent and the knowledge that has been exhibited to use is deeply and also simplified so anyone can understand. this work deserves to be respected as it helps me polish my language and learn more sophisticated words also it forges my information about terrestrial and marine protected areas. keep publishing documentaries like this thanks
Oooo I poo mm n LMK n
Absolutely breathtaking Documentary !!!.
Thanks for replying.
How graceful Sasha Bargo looks..very pretty.. and doing very Nobel task God bless !
Thank you for taking us along to these isolated places...
Excellent documentary the conservation part of this whole situation is that this is a unique place in the world and we have the ability to put it back together so that it could be a world heritage for decades centuries
This documentary is the best.❤️❤️
When I grow too disgusted with the venality and corruption of our governments, I dwell on projects like these.
the greed of corporatocracy. They OWN the govenments.
Same here.😎
😊 Thank you dear ❤️✌️
Informative & insightful; very few documentaries are available on St. Helena; this island is mostly unknown to the world
I adore what the people are doing to restore the habitats of the island.
WOW habitat restoration I love it 😍
Thanks a lot DW 👍
Amazing documentary with good content,good language use and camera work 👍
St. Helena is also the home of the oldest land animal, Jonathan, the Tortoise. Last heard he was around 190 years YOUNG!
All I knew about St. Helena, before this video, is that Napoleon spent the remainder of his life “imprisoned” on the island.
Same hahaha that's why I clicked on it
@@meddena I’m pretty sure that’s 80% of the reason why St. Helena’s tourist industry exists.
Still watching
@I’mSomeWhatCertain.
That's Emperor Napoleon ...!!!!!
Stay clear of their wallpapering workmen..
Love this documentary!
Dw your documentries are awesome
Thanks for watching!
How can I say thank You DW in my Language? ☺This is Truly a great Documentary. Our Planet needs to be protected and where that entirely relies on Man he MUST do the Very Best. Saint Helena is truly a home for many species to see, learn and Love
St.Helena Is The One Of The Most Place In The Whole World!❤❤❤
Saint Helena island absolutely amazing beautiful Wildlife under the water and the above
I enjoy watching I appreciate you for sharing with me.
Absolutely brilliant, thank you 🙏
Brilliant and extremley informative video.Thank you !
As a born and bred New Zealander, it is uncanny how familiar these tree ferns in particular are to ours. I also saw cordyllines and phormia that look identical to ours. Lots of datura as well, which we have none of (endemically), I wonder if they are introduced - as most solanums are native to south and central America. At 11:54 there seems to be what we call a woolly nightshade which was introduced to NZ on purpose in the 50s by scientists, as a potential rootstock of tamarillos. It quickly became a noxious weed.
I believe the Phormium were brought to St. Helena intentionally to produce flax and just went wild when the industry failed.
I noticed this too, I had a look on Google Maps and they're literally world away from us too.
@@tobyhallidie1498 Sad to hear that, was it from New Zealand or Norfolk Island? It is easily spread by birds I guess, at least it provides lots of food for the nectar feeders.
@@classicjonesy Where are you from? They did tell you where St Helena was at the beginning so you didn't need to look them up on GMaps.
Every time I used to go back to NZ and show people my travels, all I would get is "loks loyk Nyoy Zeaulund, ayy" ....... yea, this place is also on Earth, like NZ.
Just found your channel. Loving it already,2 minutes in. Bravo to you! ❤️👍
Tausend Dank, DW 👏🏻 🇸🇭 🇸🇭 🇸🇭
Respect to all the people who are doing amazing work!!
breathtaking indeed. excellent doc
Worthy of recognition and cheers to DW team for creating important, caring, scientific, professional content. Sharing knowledge and creating awareness are crucial to the protection and reforestation/reconstruction of natural habitats around the world. If you may, please make a DW Doc about Patagonia (Argentina side): Parque Nacional Los Glaciares (specially about Fitz Roy area). Thank you. Gracias. Saludos desde NYC.
DW didn't make this.
Amazing, I watched from start to the ends.. wow
Fascinating accents. Apparently when the saints get together without visitors they speak their local vernacular which is sometimes undecipherable to outsiders.
Nice documentary in all aspects! Congratulations 👏🎉❤
Beautiful, interesting documentary 👏
Excellent doc! ❤️
Beautiful documentary .
I hope we can do that in the Philippines. Most our flora and fauna were lost and made into commercial area and does not have a chance to renew or revive all endemic species. Few only survive but not all able to maintain its life because of constant human activity such as deforestation and pollution.
Thank you for s beautiful, well made documentary! I'm a new subscriber.
Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Had many questions about st Helena this answered them
Amazing place,dream to see
I wish I could give more likes. Wonderful documentary: excellent use of language (apart from 'decimate'), deep understanding of the concepts being communicated, fantastic camerawork, and most of all, a deeply fascinating human culture and biological tapestry.
Y u no like decimate?
@@SunriseLAW Try listening again, it is in the introductory commentary. 2:45
The generally-accepted connotation exists because of ignorance. Ignorance in intelligent people irritates me because I am on the spectrum.
@@Melange2 It means kill one tenth, but it is used, such as here, to describe much larger massacres.
@@SunriseLAW Yeah but it is what the word actually means. As I said, the common usage is due to ignorance. Deci=one tenth, mate=kill. As id decimal, decigram, decimetre etc etc etc.
@@SunriseLAW Yeah nah it still means to kill 1 in 10. You said it yourself, and that is what the actual sounds made by the syllables mean. Obviously I know this is blowing against a hurricane, I know language evolves and new colloquial meanings are continuously created. There has to be some pushback as well otherwise communication breaks down altogether.
Look at the word "literally". It is *literally* being used to mean things that are definitively not literal. If we let that continue, the word will be meaningless, like "radical", "wonderful", "awesome" and many other now-meaningless hyperlatives that have been allowed to attenuate by woefully under-qualified English teachers, and apologists like yourself. At least you sometimes know how to use an apostrophe.
The best place to watch best of documentaries
Danke Schön Deutsche Welle
Beautiful home 🇸🇭
Beautiful documentary
Every single time, DW Documentary, nailing it ❤️
My dream job & discipline, Entomology 👍
Check out Ascension Island Services they used to occasionally post jobs on the next Island up From St. Helena
Wonderful! Study hard and may your dream come true 💜
This simply amazing so beautiful 😻. Worth a visit to this lovely location 🔥🔥👌🏾👌🏾
If to many visit, the place will chance.
Definitely! I hope you get to go. Make sure you support the locals and any conservation efforts while you're there. Oh..but leave the cats! 😁😉
Thanks for bringing this on dw...
