Asia has the longest coastline of any continent and the richest coral reefs on earth. Its seas are connected by some of the world's most powerful currents and are home to over 60 per cent of all marine species.
S1.E2 ∙ Above the Clouds
Asia is the most mountainous continent on earth. From the forested peaks of the tropics to the hostile heights of the Himalayas, Asia's mountains are home to an astonishing abundance of specialised plants and wildlife.
S1.E3 ∙ The Frozen North
In northern Asia, life defies hostile extremes. See animals from the Tibetan Plateau, the Kamchatka Peninsula, Japan, and Russia. Including seals red-crowned cranes, wolves, owls, bears, bats, and red foxes.
S1.E4 ∙ Tangled Worlds
Asia's jungles are exceptionally diverse, but whilst they provide shelter, food and opportunity, they are also full of dangers and hidden threats.
S1.E5 ∙ Crowded Continent
In Asia, the most densely populated continent, animals have developed extraordinary ways to seize the opportunities of the human world.
S1.E6 ∙ The Arid Heart
In the heart of Asia lie vast arid lands. These deserts and grasslands are so hostile they push life to the limit. Life in the arid heart of Asia demands extraordinary resilience. Those that live here are the continent's great survivors.

Remarkable people are dedicating their lives to saving Asia's extraordinary wildlife, using ingenious solutions.
