High in the misty peaks of St Helena lies a rare and endangered ecosystem, home to over 500 species found nowhere else on Earth. This documentary tells the powerful story of the first four years of the St Helena Cloud Forest Project, a long-term restoration initiative launched in 2021 and managed by the RSPB.
Delivered on the ground by the St Helena Government, Connect Saint Helena Ltd, and the St Helena National Trust, the project has already surpassed early targets, clearing invasive species and planting over 40,000 endemic seedlings across the Peaks National Park.
Discover how this landmark conservation effort is restoring biodiversity, improving water security, and creating new socio-economic opportunities for the island community. Through cutting-edge techniques like micropropagation, seed banking, and climate monitoring, the St Helena Cloud Forest Project is building resilience against threats like invasive plants and tree disease.
🌱 Highlights include:
• Endemic species like the Spiky Yellow Woodlouse and newly discovered pirate spiders
• Real-world impact on St Helena’s water supply
• Education and job creation for local residents
• A deepening understanding of the island’s unique invertebrate ecology
This is a story of science, passion, and resilience; of an island working together with international partners to protect one of the world’s most extraordinary natural habitats.
