Planet Earth II

Islands are sanctuaries, but isolation is challenging.

The high peaks of the world are stunning but hostile places.

Jungles are mysterious worlds of drama and surprise.

The brutal extremes of deserts shape remarkable stories.

Grasslands are home to Earth's great wildlife spectacles.

We share our human-made cities with wild animals.

Cities are the fastest growing habitat on Earth but, for animals, life in the manmade world is not easy. Some are successful - Leopards prowl the streets of Mumbai and Peregrine falcons hunt amongst New York's skyscrapers. Many creatures, however, are struggling to cope in the urban jungle. As the architects of our future will we choose to build cities that are home both for us and for wildlife?
