BBC documentary reveals Guangdong's wild side

The team captured precious footage of black kites soaring over Danxia Mountain, a UNESCO-listed natural World Heritage Site known for its reddish rock formations, Chinese white dolphins riding the waves, corals spawning synchronously and the appearance of a new species of eyelid gecko.

"The documentary presents not just a catalog of species, but also stories of interdependence among life forms and the harmonious coexistence between humans and nature," Shan said.

While showcasing how wildlife and humans can coexist harmoniously, the documentary will help raise public awareness of protecting nature amid urban development and making room for wildlife in the process of modernization, according to Simon Winchcombe, series producer of Wild Guangdong.

"The filming process was like a fascinating journey — almost every day, we captured unprecedented details of wildlife," he said.
