Treat yourself to the remarkable richness and beauty of Africa, the Mediterranean and Europe in this four-series collection from the BBC's internationally renowned Natural History Unit. You'll witness the birth of vast continents, and discover how humans changed the landscape forever. Peering from space, you'll see Wild Africa as a vast tapestry of sands, forests, mountains, lakes and rivers. Sail down the Congo for an intimate look at wildlife in regions inaccessible until now. In The First Eden, Sir David Attenborough takes you on a glorious tour of the wildlife of the Mediterranean, from the earliest human settlements to today. And in Europe: A Natural History, you’ll follow the continent’s epic story, from tropical swamps and ice ages, to today’s incredibly varied natural scene. Pop-up windows add fascinating facts. Extras take you to the Nile, Madagascar, Scandinavia and Iceland. “All breathtaking spectacle”— Newsweek.
Wild Africa
Seen from space, Africa is a shattered kingdom, textured by burning sands, seas of grass and steaming forests, scarred by mountains and bejeweled with great lakes and rivers. Raw and beautiful, the ancient continent is alive with the greatest collection of wildlife on Earth. This mesmerizing series examines each of Africa's stunning natural realms in turn, revealing little-known facts and showing how humans and creatures co-exist within this vast area.
Congo
To the west of the Serengeti and Lake Victoria, beyond the misty mountains of the Rift Valley, lies the second largest river system on earth: the Congo. This vast arena - the size of Europe - is home to an array of wildlife richer and more varied than any other region of Africa, and yet it is hardly known. Today, parts of the Congo still remain inhospitable and virtually inaccessible. In a television first, the BBC Natural History Unit has been given unprecedented access to film in this region.
The First Eden
A glorious portrait of the landscape, wildlife and plants of the Mediterranean, presented by Sir David Attenborough. From the earliest human settlements to the cities of today, from the deserts of North Africa to the forests of southern Europe, this series tells the dramatic story of man and nature at work.
Europe: A Natural History
Discover the story of Europe, from the birth of the continent through the modern day in an epic journey going back three billion years. You’ll travel through tropical swamps and ice ages as you journey among civilizations and revolutions to experience the events that shaped the landscapes and wildlife of Europe. No other continent has such a varied natural history crammed into so little space. What gives Europe this incredible diversity?
