PBS’s “Nature” takes us to Katavi National Park in Tanzania this Wednesday, but it’s not the idyllic wildlife sanctuary one might expect. “Katavi: Africa’s Fallen Paradise, Purgatory” paints a stark portrait of a landscape ravaged by drought, where young animals face a desperate fight for survival.
The episode follows these young creatures as they struggle to adapt to the harsh conditions. Water sources have dwindled, and the land is parched. Then, fire sweeps through, leaving behind a desolate expanse of ash and smoke. It’s a brutal test of resilience, a struggle against the elements that highlights the precarious balance of life in the African wilderness.
Tune in to PBS this Wednesday, April 9th at 8:00 PM for this powerful and moving episode of “Nature.”
