A canary turns silent in the mine. A frog disappears from the jungle. A river runs dry. Nature has long sent messages about severe changes occuring in the environment - many of which we've chosen to ignore until now. Today, more than ever, climate change, human impact and unprecedented species extinctions are calling on all of us to re-think how we live and treat Planet Earth. 
Loretta's numerous journeys to Africa have resulted in this compelling, award-winning presentation about endangered species. Travelling through grasslands, deserts and forests, Loretta vicariously takes her audience to meet the world's largest land mammal (elephant), and other African animals, face to face. Unique photos, humorous personal experiences and amazing facts have made "Endangered Species of Africa", the longest running Down to Earth show! A passionate look at endangered species and what we can do to ensure their survival. Promotes understanding, empathy and action!!!
The Amazon is the largest tropical rainforest in the world. Re-trace Loretta and Michael's adventurous two month journey, as they paddle and trek 2,700 kilometres through the Amazon rainforest of Brazil. They will have you living amongst indigenous Tukano peoples, uncovering methods of survival, learning about plant medicines, exploring rainforest levels and wildlife and discovering the biological and economical reasons for saving this fragile ecosystem. Get ready to vicariously itch from insect bites, sweat from humidity, cuddle primates and swim amongst deadly creatures in the Amazon rivers. An epic journey that encourages all of us to protect tropical rainforests and vanishing cultures before it's too late! 
British Columbia has 25% of the coastal temperate rainforests left in the world. This fragile habitat is home to wolves, eagles, coyotes, deer, bears and salmon. Unfortunately, 80% of species loss is due to habitat loss. Many of these old growth forests are unprotected and threatened by clear-cut logging. Join Loretta as she explores B.C.'s forests with first nation peoples. Learn about native culture and their connection to rainforests and wildlife, on our journey through one of the richest ecosystems on earth!
