Wildest Places Season 1

Synopsis

Isolated and completely surrounded by water, Australia is a land of contrasts. Parched desert and tropical rainforest, islands, reefs, and bushland are shaped by seasons of drought, flood, and fire. Through it all, this continent has produced the most extraordinary survivors. Some have bloomed in unhindered remoteness over millions of years. Others remain unchanged since long before the ice age.

Australia was the last continent to form, the smallest of the seven. Though it is completely surrounded by water, the center is consumed by vast tracts of parched, infertile land. This is the lowest, flattest, and driest inhabited continent. Its extreme climate and isolation has shaped astounding evolutionary adaptations. This place has created its own rules of nature.

The wetlands and rainforests of Australia are ecosystems that hold links to the continent's ancient past. These places are extremely diverse. Lush green ranges in remote southern isles allow life forms to flourish unhindered. Rainforests create prime real estate for a convergence of species, all battling for territory.
