Ponds, wetland environments, peat bogs, are amazing and wonderful places, extremely rich in life and biodiversity, crucial to climatic and ecological balances. There are very different wetland environments around the world, from the city puddle to the large ponds on every continent.
Still Water explores wetland environments, ponds and marshes, dwelling on many species of birds, insects, fish, mollusks and plants, some very well known, others almost unknown. Together we will discover different types of wet environments, in different places on Earth.
