Jungle

This film transports us around the emerald band that encircles our planet – our jungles. And begins by tackling one of the biggest puzzles about the world’s rainforests: why do these places have such a bewildering variety of life, far greater than any other habitat on Earth? The quest begins in Panama, where more varieties of bird have been recorded in a single day, than anywhere else on the planet. We then travel to Borneo to see how some of the largest animals of the jungle, the orang-utan and the forest elephant, are crucial in protecting the biodiversity of the rainforests. Finally, we travel to the Amazon to witness a truly amazing web of relationships, centred around the Brazil nut tree.
