Natural history documentary series, written and presented by David Attenborough, looking at the ecology of the Earth in its present day form. A different ecological region of the earth is explored in each programme, and reveals the way in which fauna and flora have adapted to cope with the extremes of their environment.

David Attenborough explores the wildlife of tropical rainforests around the equatorial regions of the world. He peels back the layers of mystery that lie behind the magnificent Amazon jungle, starting from the tips of the huge silk cotton tree, working his way down through the tiers of leaves to the dark forest floor, discovering some of the most extraordinary plants and animals on earth.
