Description:
The living Planet is the story of the Earth's surface and its colonization by animals and plants. Changes proceed continuously. Volcanoes erupt, islands are formed and disappear. Rivers clog and change their courses. Lakes fill with sediment and become swaps, and eventually plains. As continents drift over the face of the globe, moving toward the equator or up to the poles, so jungle may turn to tundra, and grasslands bake into desert.
David Attenborough explores the strategies different species use to survive environmental change.
The picture that emerges is one of every conceivable relationship of interdependence between plants, animals, and their environments. If a habitat undergoes change, how to species adapt? As lake regions drain to marsh, what is required of the occupants? How do they survive? This is what David Attenborough shows us.
