STATE OF THE PLANET Science, Environment | 1 x 52
In the last 150 years, humans have become a geological force of nature, challenging and changing the face of our planet. Using satellite data to create earth-scale infographics, scientists are now able to collect data with pinpoint accuracy, and in the process are uncovering sobering outcomes for our environment over the coming generations. While these scenarios are catastrophic, this information has also allowed experts to create tools to combat climate change with even more innovative and durable solutions.
Witness the radical transformation of our natural world, from the earliest evidence of humanmade climate change to the rapid remodelling of our landscape today. With large scale floods, million-acre wildfires and supercharged hurricanes looming on the horizon, STATE OF THE PLANET takes the pulse of our planet and asks whether humans can change their ways in time.

SCIENCE 9 TRIMATES Nature, Science | 2 x 52 4K
Over 50 years ago, Jane Goodall, Dian Fossey and Biruté Galdikas each embarked on remote, lonely journeys into the bush to live with our closest ancestors, the Great Apes. Decades later, they’ve made history, endured tragedy and inspired a generation of young women who’ve followed them into the rainforests to study our origins and save a vanishing world.
Narrated by award-winning actress Sandra Oh (Grey’s Anatomy, Killing Eve), TRIMATES is a prime-time documentary for the whole family. A tale of exotic lands, intrepid explorers and majestic creatures.
This is a story of two generations of women: the young pioneers - Goodall, Fossey and Galdikas - who set out into the jungles over half a century ago, and the generation who followed their articles, transfixed by their stories and determined to follow the same distant paths. The Trimates not only transformed primatology, they helped transform the possibilities for women in science.
Featuring an original musical score, and up-close and personal footage filmed by one of the world’s most renowned natural history cinematographers, this film takes us deep into the jungles and mountains of Uganda, Borneo and Congo, as we explore the frontiers of important research and our human origins.

NATURE & WILDLIFE 12 NATURE’S CLEAN UP CREW Nature, Science | 1 x 52
To us, it’s garbage. To them, it’s dinner. There are some busy scavengers who live among us — crafty critters who share our cities and recycle the mountains of waste our consumer society leaves behind.
With the help of thoughtful and passionate scientists who have come to understand and love these creatures, we uncover just what makes scavengers tick. Debunking some myths along the way, we learn how they have evolved for this “messy” job, what benefits they can provide us, and how us humans can work along side them so they can do their job even better.
Vultures, ants, foxes, opossums and others offer us many benefits, simply by sharing our space. NATURE’S CLEAN UP CREW is a cast of vital creatures, each beautiful in their own right. Without them, we would be drowning in our own refuse and dealing with many deadly diseases.

NATURE & WILDLIFE 13 TOAD PEOPLE Nature, Science | 1 x 52
Amphibians have long been considered an essential component of global biodiversity. Because of their sensitivity to changes in their environment, amphibians are particularly good indicators of an ecosystem’s health. A decline in amphibian population can signal changes in the environment including the quality of the air, or water - changes which ultimately impact the other species inhabiting the space, including humans. So when the Western toad population in a rural Canadian community began to decline, this issue was not just a cause for concern for residents, but a call to action.
TOAD PEOPLE follows a powerful, community-lead movement to save this threatened species. From lobbying for the implementation of endangered species laws, to making structural changes within their communities to prevent interference in the toads migration, these impassioned citizens have made it their mission to protect not just the toad habitat, but to preserve the natural world around them that continues to be impacted by urban development. TOAD PEOPLE is a story about hope and community, and reminds us that wildlife conservation starts at our doorstep.
