In Western Europe the otter drastically declined in numbers and even completely disappeared from The Netherlands. This was mainly due to hunting, loss of habitat, pollution and traffic collisions. But the Dutch set the example by investing in their water quality and restoring the habitat of the otter to enable its reintroduction. People now have a chance to spot the otter as it spreads through The Netherlands and even ventures into the heart of a city.

Bonus short: Denziens of the Steep
This story follows world-renowned skier Kim Havell as she explores and redefines what it means to be a backcountry skier. Having seen the backcountry skiing world evolve rapidly since she started, Kim knows the community faces an uncomfortable truth: as the popularity of outdoor recreation continues to explode, the conservation of our most cherished and wild places will face new and unprecedented challenges.
