Just 50 years ago, we finally ventured to the moon.Herds of the endangered Schabowski, his horse, now roam freely through the once busy city.Most surprising of all, perhaps the top predators of these forests as reappeared wolves, hunters like these would only return if their prey and the surrounding forest is also thriving.And nowhere is this dependence more apparent than in India's western GATT's, this globally important habitat contains a third of all animal species found in India.They've seen most frequently and most easily on Crosslands, but in fact, these open forests are their preferred habitat browsing elephants open up a forest.In western Alaska, both in spring and as now in autumn, salmon, having left the ocean, swim up rivers to reach their ancestral spawning grounds.The forest also benefits from these squabbles because even a defeated hornbill will spread seeds over white areas as he searches for his next meal.This is not a monkey, but a distant relative, allemande, and there are at least 40 different kinds of lemurs, all unique to Madagascar, and all endangered lemurs are crucial to the forest.They feed on the fruits of many kinds of tree, and in doing so they distribute the seeds which will emerge unscathed through their droppings.They are less fussy than the caterpillars, they will eat every part of the tree and a hungry elephant can munch to 200 kilos of vegetation in a day.It stretches eastwards across Russia for thousands of kilometres and now in the middle of winter, it's largely silent.Poaching has taken the Siberian tiger to the brink of extinction, but since the 1980s, their numbers have slowly increased.It stretches eastwards across Russia for thousands of kilometres and now in the middle of winter, it's largely silent.Poaching has taken the Siberian tiger to the brink of extinction, but since the 1980s, their numbers have slowly increased.It contains 750 billion trees and it stores over 40 percent of the world's carbon, making it a vital element in the fight against climate change.Hidden in the vegetation of the moist forest floor is a richly populated underworld.Once pens, he hangs on for she may take several hours to discharge all her ex. Other males are only too eager to displace him if they can.Light streaming down through the newly opened canopy provides the energy for a surge of new growth.But a few monkeys travel very far if plants are to distribute their seeds across great distances, they need another kind of transport.Madagascar has a forest dominated uniquely by one of the oldest trees baobabs, the island has been isolated for over 80 million years.Most of the year, forces are solitary, but in the breeding season, they assemble in a way that is all their own and each particular female takes up residence in a special mating tree with.They feed on tree sap, absorbing the part they need and excreting the rest as a sweet liquid, sometimes known perhaps flatteringly as Honey Dew.Now, studies have shown that there are seven times more wolves inside the exclusion zone than outside it. No unprotected human being can stay here for long without lethal risk.If we choose to give Forest's time and space, they could recode the Earth with lots of the rich and varied communities of animals and plants, of which we have so recently Walbridge.This series will celebrate the natural wonders that remain and reveal what we must preserve to ensure people and nature thrive.A male Siberian tiger patrols the territory of almost 2000 square kilometres, and it has to do so if it is to find enough prey to keep itself alive during the long winter.This series will celebrate the natural wonders that remain and reveal what we must preserve to ensure people and nature thrive.A male Siberian tiger patrols the territory of almost 2000 square kilometres, and it has to do so if it is to find enough prey to keep itself alive during the long winter.The boreal forest may be the last, but the places where the salmon spawn are known to all the predators.Competition is so vigorous that the females in the center of these riding bulls have been known to drown for lack of their.The wind scouring the newly exposed forest floor kicks up dust devils of ash.The older, well-established redwoods have survived, protected by the thick fire-resistant bark.This natural resilience is essential to the continued health of these forests.Three tornadoes have wings that are almost two meters across, and they enable the birds to travel long distances in search of food.Phone bills feed on the food to 40 or so different kinds of trees and transport the indigestible seeds they contain all over the Western cats.This aerial jousting between males has never been filmed before and its purpose is not really understood.At the height of the dry season, the mambo attracts animals from all across southern Africa.In his absence, they browse on the abundant leaves and branches of the male.During that immensity of time, its animals and plants have evolved into forms quite different from any elsewhere.Within only 20 years, Sanchez recorded populations of animals similar to that in the wilder parts of Europe.The dramatic recolonization of Chernobyl in the space of only 30 years is proof of forests, extraordinary resilience.Over half of all the world's trees, evergreen and deciduous, stand in these great assemblies.For many of us, there are places of mystery and darkness

They are key to our climate and home to countless unique species.A pine cone pine nuts provides vital energy during the winter months.Over half of all the world's trees, evergreen and deciduous, stand in these great assemblies.For many of us, there are places of mystery and darkness

They are key to our climate and home to countless unique species.A pine cone pine nuts provides vital energy during the winter months.These rare glimpses reveal that their future still depends on having vast areas of forest.The boreal forest extends from Russia and east across Europe to North America.This far north, the forests can support very few animals compared to the rainforests of the tropics.Their journey from the sea into the forest represents the greatest transfer of nutrients from one habitat to another anywhere on Earth.The fish are crucial seasonal food for all the predators that live in this forest.Females, even when young, are larger than the males.If she can survive, she will have gained a place in one of the greatest and harshest forests on Earth.Not so long ago, these great trees grew throughout the Pacific Northwest.The conditions are less harsh, winds bring in warm, humid air from the Pacific Ocean, so the trees are able to grow the year-round.Every spring, he's driven by a mysterious urge to return to the pool where he hatched as a tadpole.By the end of the summer, the sun has baked the forest so intensely that they are as dry as Tinder.Lion tailed macaques.The fix themselves, although they taste nice, are not, in fact better nutritious, so the hospitals have to eat great quantities of them.The winner is able to demonstrate his strength and skill to visiting females.It's particularly important for home builders to get the best pairing because once established, the bond between male and female will last a lifetime.It stretches for over a thousand miles from Angola in the west to Mozambique in the east.These Mopani worms are not worms, of course, but caterpillars.And it's also an excellent place in which to bring up pups, the puppies greet the adults returning from a hunt with great excitement.Playing is important for the youngsters, for us, they do so they establish the social bonds that they will need when they start to hunt together as a team.Never has it been more crucial for the survival of this endangered species than now.The forest even has its own specialized Limor Hunter.They can go to a length of one and a half meters, and it's very seldom seen in the wild.The forest even has its own specialized Limor Hunter.They can go to a length of one and a half meters, and it's very seldom seen in the wild.With its top predators distracted, the rest of the forest animals can go about their normal nightly business undisturbed.These are immature leaf bugs, a species found only here in Madagascar.And how did you, in turn, provides food for a particular species of small lemur?But our planet's forests, if given the chance, are almost unbelievably resilient.Forests.

Just 50 years ago, we finally ventured to the moon. For the very first time, we looked back at our own planet. Since then, the human population has more than doubled. This series will celebrate the natural wonders that remain and reveal what we must preserve to ensure people and nature thrive. Forests. Over half of all the world's trees, evergreen and deciduous, stand in these great assemblies. For many of us, there are places of mystery and darkness

They are key to our climate and home to countless unique species. In the past, we have destroyed them without hesitation. Had do have an astonishing ability to recover. This is the southern edge of the boreal forest. The forest that dominates the far north. It stretches eastwards across Russia for thousands of kilometres and now in the middle of winter, it's largely silent. Seemingly empty of animals of any kind. But this is the home of an animal so rare, it's almost mythical.

A Siberian tiger. There are less than 600 of them. These are the most intimate pictures of them in the wild, yet taken. A male Siberian tiger patrols the territory of almost 2000 square kilometres, and it has to do so if it is to find enough prey to keep itself alive during the long winter. This is an impoverished land where food of any kind is scarce. A pine cone pine nuts provides vital energy during the winter months.

Wild boar depend on these Dutch. For them, it has to be grab and go. They themselves are food for a tiger. After. This game of hide and seek is played out over vast areas of forest as all the animals search for the Life-Giving stands of pine. Poaching has taken the Siberian tiger to the brink of extinction, but since the 1980s, their numbers have slowly increased.

Poaching has taken the Siberian tiger to the brink of extinction, but since the 1980s, their numbers have slowly increased.

These rare glimpses reveal that their future still depends on having vast areas of forest. In which to hunt. The boreal forest extends from Russia and east across Europe to North America. It contains 750 billion trees and it stores over 40 percent of the world's carbon, making it a vital element in the fight against climate change.

During the winter, the days are so short and the temperatures so low that growth is at a standstill. This far north, the forests can support very few animals compared to the rainforests of the tropics. Many are dependent on the supplement to be found in its rivers. In western Alaska, both in spring and as now in autumn, salmon, having left the ocean, swim up rivers to reach their ancestral spawning grounds. Their journey from the sea into the forest represents the greatest transfer of nutrients from one habitat to another anywhere on Earth.

The fish are crucial seasonal food for all the predators that live in this forest. Bald eagles live here the year round the nest close to the river

Young Eagles still without Whiteheads spend their first years searching for food in the forest. Much like this four year old female, they're now big enough to try and claim a place on the river.

At first, she can get the scraps left by others. And she can't get even these without a fight.

The boreal forest may be the last, but the places where the salmon spawn are known to all the predators. As the rivers begin to freeze over, competition becomes even more intense. This youngster is lucky, but her success is noticed immediately. She does have one advantage. Females, even when young, are larger than the males. And here, size matters. As winter advances, young and old have to meet the challenge of the intense cold. If she can survive, she will have gained a place in one of the greatest and harshest forests on Earth.

A little further south stand the last of the great redwood forests. Not so long ago, these great trees grew throughout the Pacific Northwest. No. Only five percent of them remain. The conditions are less harsh, winds bring in warm, humid air from the Pacific Ocean, so the trees are able to grow the year-round. Hidden in the vegetation of the moist forest floor is a richly populated underworld.

A male, rough skinned Newt. Every spring, he's driven by a mysterious urge to return to the pool where he hatched as a tadpole. And he needs to get that quickly. Because there are lots of others like him. With exactly the same idea. They're all searching for a female. But trekking across hundreds of meters of old growth forest is not easy.

There is strong competition and the female is anxious to get going. Once pens, he hangs on for she may take several hours to discharge all her ex. Other males are only too eager to displace him if they can. Competition is so vigorous that the females in the center of these riding bulls have been known to drown for lack of their. But her first partner maintains his grip. Within weeks, the tadpoles will hatch. And none too soon for the forest is about to change dramatically.

By the end of the summer, the sun has baked the forest so intensely that they are as dry as Tinder. Strong winds drive the flames. And temperatures rise to 700 degrees Celsius. Its aftermath is seemingly total destruction. The wind scouring the newly exposed forest floor kicks up dust devils of ash. The ground appears to be devoid of life. But the forest is far from dead. Within only a few months, flowers and tree seedlings will rise from the soil.

Many, in fact, would not have germinated had they not received a baptism of fire. Light streaming down through the newly opened canopy provides the energy for a surge of new growth.

The older, well-established redwoods have survived, protected by the thick fire-resistant bark.

This natural resilience is essential to the continued health of these forests.

Most forests, however, cannot recover on their own. Many hope to recover my animals. The trees of their inhabitants are interdependent. And nowhere is this dependence more apparent than in India's western GATT's, this globally important habitat contains a third of all animal species found in India. Lion tailed macaques. They feed on the fruits of many kinds of tree, and in doing so they distribute the seeds which will emerge unscathed through their droppings. But a few monkeys travel very far if plants are to distribute their seeds across great distances, they need another kind of transport.

Three tornadoes have wings that are almost two meters across, and they enable the birds to travel long distances in search of food. Phone bills feed on the food to 40 or so different kinds of trees and transport the indigestible seeds they contain all over the Western cats. So it's to the tree's advantage to attract the attention. The fix themselves, although they taste nice, are not, in fact better nutritious, so the hospitals have to eat great quantities of them.

It can be tiring work. But it's not a free for all. A single fig tree and fruit attracts great numbers of hundreds. Competition between them is intense. This aerial jousting between males has never been filmed before and its purpose is not really understood. It may be that the birds are simply squabbling over food. But it seems rather more than that. The winner is able to demonstrate his strength and skill to visiting females. The male certainly seemed keen to ingratiate themselves.

It's particularly important for home builders to get the best pairing because once established, the bond between male and female will last a lifetime.

The forest also benefits from these squabbles because even a defeated hornbill will spread seeds over white areas as he searches for his next meal. The relationship between trees and animals in a forest is not always so harmonious. This is Africa's largest forest, the mambo, named after one of its common trees. It stretches for over a thousand miles from Angola in the west to Mozambique in the east. At the height of the dry season, the mambo attracts animals from all across southern Africa.

Elephants prefer grass if they can get it. It's very nutritious. In his absence, they browse on the abundant leaves and branches of the male. But they're not the only hungry ones here. These Mopani worms are not worms, of course, but caterpillars. They hatched simultaneously in huge numbers. And just as the forest is putting out new leaves, they begin their attack. They feed so voraciously that in just six weeks, they increase their size 40 times.

By the time they're fully developed, this million strong army will have stripped the entire forest of its foliage.

Then Biyombo bounces back. With the caterpillars gone, the trees produce a second growth of leaves. This fresh forest then attracts elephants. They are less fussy than the caterpillars, they will eat every part of the tree and a hungry elephant can munch to 200 kilos of vegetation in a day. Yet even this destruction has its benefits. It shapes the forest in a way that helps one of Africa's most endangered animals.

Hunting dogs and. They've seen most frequently and most easily on Crosslands, but in fact, these open forests are their preferred habitat browsing elephants open up a forest.

Oh, watch the dogs pray. For the dogs, the Mumbai forest is perfect hunting country. And it's also an excellent place in which to bring up pups, the puppies greet the adults returning from a hunt with great excitement. Well, from the first three months of the pups, lives are spent sheltering underground.

Now they are confident enough to stay out in the open for much of the time.

And then, like all puppies, they have fun. Playing is important for the youngsters, for us, they do so they establish the social bonds that they will need when they start to hunt together as a team.

The main boat has always been important for hunting dogs, both as a place to find prey. And as a refuge. Never has it been more crucial for the survival of this endangered species than now. But they will only survive if other creatures are here to create the kind of habitat they need.

Madagascar has a forest dominated uniquely by one of the oldest trees baobabs, the island has been isolated for over 80 million years. During that immensity of time, its animals and plants have evolved into forms quite different from any elsewhere. This makes them one of the most precious forests on our planet. This is not a monkey, but a distant relative, allemande, and there are at least 40 different kinds of lemurs, all unique to Madagascar, and all endangered lemurs are crucial to the forest.

Without them, some species of tree cannot survive. The forest even has its own specialized Limor Hunter. It's Madagascar's top predator and its presence is cause for alarm. They can go to a length of one and a half meters, and it's very seldom seen in the wild. It's a fossil.

Most of the year, forces are solitary, but in the breeding season, they assemble in a way that is all their own and each particular female takes up residence in a special mating tree with.

And half a dozen or so male forces have gathered in the forest below it, but she is clearly occupied.

So one of the males leaves he sent. A visiting card just to show that he called. He will just have to wait around and see whether she takes any notice. Present engagement can last all night. With its top predators distracted, the rest of the forest animals can go about their normal nightly business undisturbed. These are immature leaf bugs, a species found only here in Madagascar. Why they have this extraordinary shape? No one knows. They feed on tree sap, absorbing the part they need and excreting the rest as a sweet liquid, sometimes known perhaps flatteringly as Honey Dew.

And how did you, in turn, provides food for a particular species of small lemur?

The crane mouse lemur is only 15 centimetres long. One of the smallest primates in the world. It's very active and needs an energy packed food. And while the sugar drops are clearly delicious, they're not very sustaining. So she's not going to let a single drop go to waste. The male fossas below are still awaiting their turn. So having eaten as much as she can. She retreats to the safety of her nest home to sleep during the daylight hours.

Things are not looking so satisfactory on the ground around the fossils making tree.

The pair above are clearly still engaged. He will either have to find another mating tree or be very patient. But he may well fail altogether. A third of Madagascar's forces have disappeared in the last 20 years as a result of the continued destruction of their forests by people.

Since these pictures were recorded, this forest and the unique life it once contained have disappeared altogether.

Only three percent of Madagascar's dry forest remains. Worldwide, we have now destroyed over half of the forests that once flourished on our planet. Not only are we losing the animals that once lived in them, we are also changing the climate of the entire globe. But our planet's forests, if given the chance, are almost unbelievably resilient. Perhaps the best proof we have of their ability to recover can be seen on the site of one of our greatest disasters. In 1986, one of the four reactors at the Chernobyl nuclear plant exploded.

It turned this utopian vision of the future into a ghost town. Over 100000 people were immediately evacuated, never to return. The fallout zone was declared uninhabitable for the next 20000 years. Yet despite the radiation, there has been a remarkable recovery. Within only a decade, vegetation began to germinate in the ruined city. And as the forest reestablished itself. Animals began to appear as. At first, it was thought that these were rare visitors. But it soon became clear that the former city was occupied by an established and thriving wild community.

Within only 20 years, Sanchez recorded populations of animals similar to that in the wilder parts of Europe. Rodier are now a common sight wandering through the suburbs. Herds of the endangered Schabowski, his horse, now roam freely through the once busy city.

Most surprising of all, perhaps the top predators of these forests as reappeared wolves, hunters like these would only return if their prey and the surrounding forest is also thriving.

Now, studies have shown that there are seven times more wolves inside the exclusion zone than outside it. No unprotected human being can stay here for long without lethal risk. But in driving us out, the radiation has created space for wildlife to return. The dramatic recolonization of Chernobyl in the space of only 30 years is proof of forests, extraordinary resilience. If we choose to give Forest's time and space, they could recode the Earth with lots of the rich and varied communities of animals and plants, of which we have so recently Walbridge.

A future with more forests is key to the resilience of our planet. Please visit our planet dot com to discover what we need to do now to restore our forests.
