Narrated by Welsh Naturalist Iolo Williams.
The wild landscapes of Wales stand as silent witnesses to an unfolding ecological emergency: over a sixth of the Wales’ native plants face extinction, many teetering on the brink. Their survival rests on the shoulders of one botanist, Dr. Kevin McGinn, and his determined team.
"The Red List" chronicles Kevin’s year-long quest to collect seeds from 25 endangered species in a race against time. Set against the backdrop of the hottest year on record, this documentary reveals the immense challenges he faces: navigating red tape, battling the relentless impacts of climate change, and enduring the personal losses of key team members. With every seed collected, Kevin and his team carry the fragile hope of safeguarding Wales’ biodiversity for generations to come.
Told with urgency and heart, "The Red List" is an unflinching exploration of the hidden struggles of conservation in a time of crisis—and a powerful reminder that even the smallest efforts can help shape a more resilient future.
