Description
Summary:EVOLUTION EARTH embarks on a global expedition to reveal the animals keeping pace with a planet changing at superspeed. Heading out across the globe to distant wilds and modern urban environments, five episodes track how animals are moving, using ingenuity to adapt their behaviour, and even evolving in unexpected ways. Episode 5: Once overlooked, we now know that grasslands have a hidden power. Not only can they host the greatest gatherings of life on Earth, but they could even heal our planet. Key species, from the wildebeest of the Serengeti to the bison of the North American prairies, can revive forgotten habitats. Healthy grasslands could be more resilient carbon sinks than forests, and even slowing climate change.
