Overview:
People and animals share the same backyard under the veil of tourism in Asia's most magnificent National Parks. Unlike protected places in North America and Europe, people are nearly constantly present in Asia's numerous endangered environments. This series investigates how humans and animals coexist and survive. Meet gentle Shinto people who have learned to live in the shadow of an active volcano, a tribal man who cares for orphan elephants by day while wild elephants threaten his village at night, and learn how the spirits of a tropical island off the coast of Borneo stopped a local Imam from cutting down the rainforest. One-horned rhinoceroses, Asiatic elephants, Guizhou golden monkeys, and a slew of other wildlife species populate Asia's landscapes, from the floodplains of India to the granite peaks of China's sacred mountains. The end product is a mix of fantastic storylines, interesting characters, and rare and endangered species set against a dramatic and beautiful environment.
