Jasper: Recovery in the Rockies

BBC Travel Show Video 2 months ago

Description

Two years ago a wildfire swept through Canada’s Jasper National Park burning more than 80 thousand acres of Rocky Mountain forest, and around a third of the little town of Jasper. As nature begins once again to reclaim the land and tourists start to return, Qasa Alom finds out how the community’s trying to get back onto its feet, meets the caribou being bred to repopulate the countryside, and runs a race in aid of the town’s heroic firefighters.
