Life in Australia is a battle. Shaped by the challenges of epic environments the creatures of the island continent compete for mating rights, to eat, and avoid being eaten. Our hardy animals aren't just competing against each other - they're fighting the very elements themselves.
While forests only cover only 16% of Australia's land area, they harbour a higher concentration of animal species than anywhere else on the continent.
Australia is an island continent boasting nearly thirty five thousand kilometres of coastline. Humans come to the seaside to relax, but for tens of thousands of species that live and breed on our coast, it's a battleground.
Australia is the driest inhabited continent on earth, with seventy percent of the land mass declared an arid zone. Spanning five million square kilometres, this zone is one of the most exposed areas on the planet.
Wetlands are a critical part of our natural environment. They protect our shores from wave action, reduce the impacts of floods, absorb pollutants and improve water quality.
Hosted and narrated by Aaron Pedersen, this series explores the apocalyptic natural forces that nature inflicts upon Australia. As the climate changes, Australian wildlife must keep pace to survive.
Australia and Asia are divided by a narrow strait that separates the Indonesian islands of Bali and Lombok. Known as the Wallace line, it's one of the greatest divides in nature. Safe behind this barrier, life in Australia has evolved in isolation, creating species found nowhere else on earth.
Life in Australia is a battle. Shaped by the challenges of epic environments the creatures of the island continent compete for mating rights, to eat, and avoid being eaten. Our hardy animals aren't just competing against each other - they're fighting the very elements themselves.
Showcases places of ecological significance and natural beauty, including the Northern Territory's Kakadu National Park, with its extreme wet and harsh dry seasons; Australia's distinctive Red Centre; the pristine southern island of Tasmania; the Australian Alps, the country's highest mountain range; and the ancient Daintree rainforests that sit alongside the largest living structure visible from space, the Great Barrier Reef.
