Synopsis

Sketches of the end of the world is a documentary series that explores six ecosystems in Latin America threatened by human activity, from the unique perspective of naturalist illustrators who embark on exploration journeys. In six episodes, these experts delve into deserts, forests, and oceans alongside scientists and local figures, creating a sketchbook that allows us to reflect on the anthropogenic impact on these territories and the urgency of promoting their conservation.
