- Hope Swinimer and her team of animal loving vets take care and rehabilitate all kinds of wild animals.
- Beautiful coastal scenery is captured with aerial photography.
- Horse interpreter Jessica Fobert shares stories and adventures to provide a greater understanding of an animal that has inspired legends and influenced history.
- This short film follows two endangered plover pairs as they fight for survival on the shores of Prince Edward Island, Canada.
- Tectonic and volcanic activity created the Great Serengeti Rift and the giant Ngorongo crater, which houses an isolated population of species such as wildebeest and lions which normally participate in the greatest land animals migration, but here are prone to excessive incest, especially since Maasai grazing grounds lock out wild relatives. Other lakes with peculiarities house or host such remarkable populations as most of the world's small flamingos.
- Namibia's Namib desert is the result of Atlantic winds eroding ancient mountains. Extremely hot and arid, it requires elaborate adaptations from wildlife and rare tribal populations.
- The Okavango Delta, in northern Botswana, comprises various wetlands, some (river arms and marshes) deep enough for hippopotamuses to live in, many drying out many months, some barely seasonal waterholes. Many species (like buffalo) and people migrate in and out on the flood rhythm, while only the Bushmen survive all year in the neighboring Kalahari desert.
- For 2000 miles, the mighty Zambezi flows from the Zambian highlands trough Angola, Botwsana and Zimbabwe to Mocambique, to end in the Indian Ocean. Its immense water volume has a massive impact on wildlife in its huge flood areas and trough erosion reshapes its own bed, most spectacularly at the Victoria falls, the world's greatest waterfall.
- 2012– 52mTV-PG7.8 (18)TV EpisodeThe Pantanal wetlands, mostly in western central Brazil but extending into Bolivia and Paraguay, flood up to 80% about half of the year, due to tropical rain torrents and even more water descending form the Andes highlands, supporting an extremely rich wildlife, mainly fish and its predators, infested with caymans, with a jaguar subspecies double its cousins' size. May animals migrate or perish when the rivers shrink and large areas turn desert-dry.
- The Galapagos archipelago, way off Chile's coast, is named after the saddle shape of it iconic, century-living giant turtle species. Considered hellish by its Spanish discovers, it became a paradisaic nature reserve. Its uniquely odd land - and aquatic wildlife, evolving at record speed due to the fast emergence and transformation of volcanic islands at a tectonic crack where three major ocean currents meet, greatly inspired Charles Darwin's evolutionary theories.
- Discover the beauty of Iceland. We reveal the remarkable wildlife of this unique island from the Arctic Fox to the largest breeding colony in the world of the Atlantic Puffin.
- 2012– 43mTV-PG9.1 (10)TV EpisodeThe Arctic Circle is one of the last great wildernesses on earth. This film follows a year in the High Arctic where life is exceptionally entwined with the seasons.
- Covering a fifth of the earth?s surface, the arctic tundra is one of the coldest and driest places on the planet. Discover the balance of the seasons that allows life to thrive.
- Follow a year in the life of the many animals, including the brown bear, that have learnt to survive in the frozen Taiga forest, which contains a third of the world's trees.
- 2012– 52mTV-PG8.2 (21)TV EpisodeThe Falklands are 300 miles east of Patagonia in the bleak South Atlantic. Tthe largest plants growing there are wind-resistant shrubs. The native animal population includes penguins, seals, whales and albatrosses.
- Covering 200,000 square kilometers, India's Thar Desert is one of the harshest places on the planet. Baking heat, desiccating winds and near permanent drought has earned this unforgiving land another name - "the region of death." As we explore India's great desert we unveil its hidden secrets, and ultimately shed light as to how the Thar has become the most crowded desert in the world.
- The Ganges is the longest river in India. It flows from the glaciers of the world's highest mountains, the Himalayas, to the largest bay in the world, the Bay of Bengal. Human pollution threatens to overwhelm the river, but somehow wild animals survive. Hindus believe that Ganges water has the power to purify, and it seems there is some scientific evidence to support this conviction: microscopic organisms actually eat bacteria that could cause disease, and uniquely high level levels of oxygen break down organic waste faster than any in other river. This self-cleaning property of Ganges water helps support some of the last remaining true wilderness in the world - the Sundarbans swamp. Here, India's largest population of wild tigers have never learned to fear man, making them very dangerous neighbors.
- Outside Asia, no peak reaches above 7000 metres, but along the Himalayan range, over 100 mountains exceed this height by at least 200 metres, making it the tallest mountain range on the planet. As Earth meets the sky along this hostile terrain, powerful winds, sub-zero temperatures, and a lack of oxygen oppose virtually all forms of life, but remarkably, this immense geological feature somehow supports one of the largest and most diverse collections of creatures on the planet - including man. While the Himalayas rugged highlands offer little direct refuge to humans, in the shadow below, over a billion people in India rely on the mountains for survival.
- 2012– 52mTV-PG7.4 (11)TV EpisodeCovering 800,000 square kilometres of Argentina and Chile, Patagonia is the southernmost part of South America. It's a place of extremes - of vast ice fields and snow-capped mountains; of windswept deserts and violent oceans. Survival here means being tough enough to cope with brutal winters, and canny enough to exploit brief seasons of plenty.
- 2012– 52mTV-PG7.7 (15)TV EpisodeSpanning nine countries and covering eight million square kilometres, the Amazon is so big that if it were a country it would be the seventh largest in the world. This episode uncovers what makes the Amazon such a powerhouse of evolution and how it has come to home a third of all species on the planet.
