Experience our planet's natural beauty and examine how climate change impacts all living creatures in this ambitious documentary of spectacular scope. In this episode: Witness the planet's breathtaking diversity -- from seabirds carpet-bombing the ocean to wildebeests eluding the wild dogs of the Serengeti.

In this video, you'll understand how we can add biodiversity and bring some major change the forest itself must cover a 100-square-meter minimum area. This grows into a forest so dense that after eight months, sunlight can’t reach the ground.

In this video, we will understand how can we give the soil whatever nourishment it needs.

Forests don't have to be far-flung nature reserves, isolated from human life. Instead, we can grow them right where we are -- even in cities. Eco-entrepreneur and TED Fellow Shubhendu Sharma grows ultra-dense, biodiverse mini-forests of native species in urban areas by engineering soil, microbes and biomass to kickstart natural growth processes. Follow along as he describes how to grow a 100-year-old forest in just 10 years, and learn how you can get in on this tiny jungle party.

The Arctic is facing a looming methane threat as melting permafrost releases massive amounts of this potent greenhouse gas. Enormous explosions, massive craters, and bubbling gas eruptions are signs of this ticking time bomb. The scale of the threat is difficult to comprehend, and scientists and local communities are grappling with its implications for the future

Since the Industrial Revolution, humans have emitted more than 1.5 trillion tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere. In 2019, we released 37 billion more than the previous year, and emissions of other greenhouse gases like methane and nitrous oxide are also increasing. We emit a total of 51 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalents annually, and these emissions continue to rise, but we must reduce them to zero.

Insects are dying out and scientists and environmentalists are sounding the alarm. Our film team meets entomologists, farmers, scientists, chemical companies and politicians in a bid to lay bare the causes of insect mortality.

Half the world eats it. One-fifth of our calories come from it. But rice has a dark secret: its emissions refer to the greenhouse gas emissions, specifically methane, released during cultivation. This is a significant contributor to global emissions and a major concern for climate change. So how can we grow rice better?

Despite the significant progress brought by oil, it also caused massive inequalities. With the increasing global temperature, why is it challenging to shift away from fossil fuels and can we make the transition before it's too late?
