This five-part series takes a fresh look at humankind’s relationship to the planet’s wildest places and most fascinating species. Dr. M. Sanjayan, a leading conservation scientist, takes viewers on a stunning visual journey to explore how humans are inextricably woven into every aspect of the planet’s natural systems. The series features spectacular natural history footage from the most striking places on Earth, filming encounters between wild animals and the people who live and work with them. With up-close looks at a range of species, from giant pandas to humpback whales and African lions to Arctic reindeer, Sanjayan reveals that co-habitations with animals can work – and be mutually beneficial.

Oceans
Reporting from Palmyra Atoll (one of the most remote coral atolls on Earth), the Bahamas, and from New York Harbor, host Dr. M. Sanjayan  introduces a vibrant community of scientists, engineers and fishermen who are discovering new ways to help maintain the remarkable productivity of oceans. He is aware of the vast threat facing our oceans, but standing in the water playing mid-wife to a lemon shark is just one of the moments that give him hope that we can change the way we influence our oceans – the wildest habitat on Earth.
