Asia – Secret Lives, Hidden Places
In Asia's most gorgeous National Parks, people and wildlife share the same backyard. Unlike protected areas in North America and Europe, endangered Asian environments often include humans. This series shows how people and animals coexist. Meet Shinto people who live in the shadow of an active volcano, a tribal guy who cares for infant elephants by day as wild elephants threaten his town at night, and how the spirits of a tropical island off Borneo stopped a local Imam from tearing down the rainforest. One-horned rhinoceroses, Asiatic elephants, Guizhou golden monkeys, and other species fill Asia, from India's river plains to China's holy mountains. The result is a dramatic blend of brilliant storytelling, intriguing characters, and rare and imperiled wildlife.
