Nature: Ireland |
Although
green is its emblematic color, Ireland's verdant fields are not
the nation's only extraordinary natural features. Sculpted
millions of years ago by the advance and retreat of vast shields
of ice, the Emerald Isle harbors a wealth of wildlife among its
craggy mountains, fog-shrouded coastlines, steep gorges, and vast
networks of inland waterways. |

Nature: Deep Jungle: Episode 3 |
Embark on a journey to discover where we come from and what our own future might hold. Italian primatologist Chloe Chipoletta tries to make the first human contact with lowland gorillas in the remote African forests of the Congo. Similar contact with other great apes by experts like David Watts in Uganda has revealed where our ability to use tools came from. We discover that even our cherished notions of being the only animal capable of sophisticated culture are false when we witness capuchin monkeys in Brazil with the rudiments of culture. American archaeologists Rene Munoz and Charles Golden, working in the forests of Guatemala, and British archaeologist Charles Higham working in Cambodia are studying the ruins of lost civilizations searching for answers to one question: what happens when we turn the skills we inherited from our primate past against the forest? The fate of these civilizations offers us a powerful lesson about our own future and the future of the jungle. |

Planet Earth |
Here we will explore the role of life in shaping our planet and in shaping its future. Is man a threat to Earth's future, or is he emerging as the brain or nervous system of this grand living organism called Earth? How is the Amazon rain forest a critical piece in the puzzle of the health of our planet? New discoveries tell us that life may be a billion years older than previously thought which has provocative implications. We will explore new revelations about the global consequences of a "Nuclear Winter" and "Ultra-Violet Spring." |
