Best of Trickstar Nature 2025

What happens if rays take over the world? What if the glaciers melt and the sea levels rise? What if the world suffocates in smog and plastic waste? How does a society change when natural resources are no longer sufficient for everyone?

This year‘s BEST OF TRICKSTAR NATURE programme shows us that we still have options.
