Four decades after his death, the images and sequences that Félix Rodríguez de la Fuente recorded in the forests of our country, and his innovative way of communicating and showing on television the Iberian fauna that he defended so much throughout his life, are still recorded in the memory of several generations of Spaniards.

On the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the death of the remembered naturalist, on Sunday, March 8 at 9:30 pm DMax premieres Wild Frank. The legacy of Félix , a new season of the series produced by Molinos de Papel for the Veo TV channel in which, over four episodes, Frank Cuesta pays tribute to the figure and trajectory of Félix Rodríguez de la Fuente by touring some key points of the Iberian Peninsula.

To pay tribute to the most important environmental disseminator of our country forty years after his death, Frank Cuesta undertakes a journey through the ecosystems in which some of the species that Felix protected most live to see in first person how they live and in what state they live. They find these animals, and how their ecosystems are preserved today.

The Natural Park of Cazorla, Seguras and the Villas (Jaén), the Nature Park of Cabárceno (Cantabria), the National Park of Doñana (Huelva) and the Natural Park of the Serranía de Cuenca , will be some of the natural spaces in those that the spectators will be able to observe the state in which they are the species that inhabit them.

Frank Cuesta will also attend several centers dedicated to the rehabilitation and breeding of animals that have long been in danger of extinction. Thus, the herpetologist will visit the El Acebuche breeding center, located in Almonte, which is responsible for captive breeding of the Iberian Lynx, the Brinzal Night Raptor Recovery Center in the Campo de Madrid house, or the Wild Animal Recovery Center ( GREFA ) located in the municipality of Majadahonda where you will know the main cause of death of black vultures.

Wild Frank Felix's legacy will also cover the true footprints of Rodríguez de la Fuente walking through the same sites where, several decades ago, the popularizer and his team recorded the native wild nature for the mythical program The Man and the Earth . All this by the hand of Miguel Molina , the camera operator of Rodríguez de la Fuente who worked with him for five years and witnessed the plane crash in which the naturalist died.
