Evolution Earth

EVOLUTION EARTH embarks on a global expedition to reveal the extraordinary ways animals are keeping pace with a planet that is changing at superspeed. We meet the scientists, filmmakers and local communities at the front lines of this rapid change. They show that we too can help, and that if we work with nature in planned conservation efforts, nature can do more than survive - it can bounce back. This five-part series is narrated by Princeton University’s Shane Campbell-Staton, who guides us through each episode in an intimate narrative style, drawing on his background as an evolutionary biologist.
