Earth: A New Wild

Plains (1x2)

Fecha de emisión: Feb 04, 2015

The plains and grasslands of world are home to the greatest number of mammals on Earth and our breadbasket. They are also among the most endangered places on Earth. Traveling to the great plains of the world – from Africa to the artic tundra, Sanjayan discovers that people and wild predator play an active and beneficial role to the revitalization of these habitats. Wildlife highlights include the first HD footage of rutting Saiga antelope on the steppes of Russia and the return of an ancient tradition in the artic: the castration of reindeer males not by mechanical means but by biting. Here on the plains, human-animal conflict is at its highest but so is the promise that humans, by mimicking or working with top predators, can restore these grasslands to their former glory.
