WILD LIFE: THE AMERICAS

This breathtaking series aims at discovering why two very different regions of the planet, very far away from each other, are so rich in biodiversity; two unique places on Earth that serve as natural bridges between continents. Central America is a strip of land connecting two large land masses, a small region with an extraordinary natural richness. The Iberian Peninsula is the most bio-diverse region in Europe, acting as an umbilical cord between Africa and Europe. Both places are defined as "biological bridges." Through ground-breaking cinematography, discover the Earth's hidden secrets like never before, and see how all life is connected in miraculous and stunning ways! "The Ocean's Border": When the Isthmus of Panama closed four million years ago, the two largest oceans of the planet were separated and massive geological events created a unique place that would grow some of the most fascinating life on Earth. Intense volcanic activity created what is now known as Central America, and it began to be colonized by amazing creatures that gradually colonized every new island. Discover five incredibly diverse regions within this ecosystem: the wetlands of the Caribbean, the Southern Caribbean, the North Pacific, the Corcovado Peninsula, and the central mountain range. "Looking South": Central America is home to some of the most breathtaking animals in the world. In vast and dramatic forests, several dynamic species of animal cohabitate - from the fierce jaguar to the clever monkey. Let these ambassadors of the wild show you the splendors of their homes! "Quetzals' Land": This is a long, mountainous passage where hundreds of thousands of species of plants and animals live. The umbilical cord that linked the continents also created one of the richest and most diverse places on earth - the Caribbean rainforests. These exotic destinations are the home to the magnificent and lonely Quetzal birds. Explore the Pacific coast of Central America and take flight with these rollicking spectacles of nature.
