World of the Wild: The Amazon Rainforest

Editor's Take

Opening a series on Earth's richest habitat, this episode works up through the layers of the Amazon, from forest floor to canopy. It stresses interdependence, showing how many species rely on one another within a single, crowded ecosystem. Spectacle and fragility are held in balance here, the abundance always shadowed by how easily it could be lost.
