Human Planet | BBC Official Trailer

As an air-breathing animal, man is ill-suited to living in watery environments. Nonetheless, people in certain cultures have found ways to live an almost aquatic life in order to exploit the vast riches of the sea.

Oceans: Into the Blue

While man can survive for weeks without food, he can survive  mere days without water. Despite this, millions of people live in parched desert environments around the world. Discover the enormous challenges presented to man in the driest corners of  the earth, and marvel at the ingenious solutions he has come up with to make life sustainable.

Deserts: Life in the Furnace

Welcome to the Arctic: months of darkness, frigid  temperatures, little food to be found or grown. Despite this, four million people live their lives in  this environment. Meet them and witness their remarkable tales of survival in the world's  harshest climate.

Arctic: Life in the Deep Freeze

The rainforest is home to more species of plants and animals than any other habitat on the planet. For the humans who call this environment home, life requires skill, ingenuity, and sheer bravery.

Jungles: People of the Trees

From lush cloud forests to bare summits, many people make their homes in the extreme altitudes of the world's mountain ranges. Explore the extraordinary ways  life is sustained in this world of thin air and few resources.

Mountains: Life in Thin Air

Grasslands feed the world. Over thousands of years, humans have learned to grow grains on the grasslands and domesticate the creatures that live there, propelling our population to almost seven billion people in the process.

Grasslands: Roots of Power

Rivers provide the essentials of life: fresh food and fresh water. They 	act as natural highways and enable humans to live in just about every environment on Earth. Rivers are not to be taken for granted, however, as they freeze, flood, and sometimes dry up - 	disappearing entirely! 

Rivers: Friend and Foe

A look at the man-made environment: the city. Over half 	of the world's population now lives in the urban jungle. The city is built to keep untamed nature 	out - but nature can't be pushed away. From bed bugs sucking blood at night to rats in our 	restaurants, many animals have adapted to a life in man's creation.
