A documentary series that portrays the natural wealth of Uruguay through its most emblematic ecosystems and the species that inhabit them. Each episode is an invitation to discover the country's biodiversity and understand the importance of its conservation.
The series has been broadcast on TCC and TV Ciudad, and was part of the official selection of the Detour New Film Festival in Montevideo.
Its final episode, Ñandú Pysã (In Space and Time), was selected to participate in the 40th Festival du Film Ornithologique du Ménigoute (France) and the Santiago Wild Festival (Chile), where we had the enormous pleasure of attending thanks to the support of ACAU, generating contacts that resulted in a broadcasting contract with the Divergente platform (Spain and Andorra).
Currently, Hábitat (Uruguay) is part of the programming of Amazon Prime Video for all of Latin America and has been selected for the 2025-2026 Uruguayan Film and Audiovisual Catalog, which brings together 70 titles of outstanding works from national cinema.
