The impact of human beings on different ecosystems is huge. Throughout our history, we have changed ecosystems in ways that have led to biodiversity loss, increased the chances of natural disasters such as fires or disconnected humankind from nature. Diego and Manuel, enthusiastic conservationists, are going to show us a new conservation approach to restore the damage and prepare our ecosystem for a future where climate change is more present. They will guide us through the Alto Tajo Natural Park and its surroundings, introducing us to their work, which is regenerating the region thanks to the introduction of wild horses. This also revitalizes a rural area—one of the most sparsely populated in the world, with a population density similar to some regions of Siberia—a territory heavily affected by rural exodus.
