1 tree, 365 days. The extraordinary wildlife of the Apennines

A special beech tree kept under observation for a whole year by a concealed eye, which never closes.

Four seasons unfolding around a crossroad of smells, signals and messages left behind by the extraordinary wildlife of the Apennines. What you see here is just a small part of this incredible experience. Italian photographers and conservationists Bruno D’Amicis and Umberto Esposito set a camera up in a forest in the Apennine Mountains, trained it on one beech tree, and let it record for an entire year. This video contains clips of that recording that show the diversity of wildlife that passed by, stopped to mark their territory, scratch their back, or take a bite.
