Islands: Nature's Wild Laboratories

S1 E4: Borneo

The small stature of Borneo's dwarf elephants is due to a biological phenomenon; due to their endangered habitat, they have shrunk over generations.

S1 E3: Baffin Island

For half of the year, Baffin Island is locked in ice and nearly unfit for life; when winter releases its grip, its coastline shrinks and millions of visitors thrive while ice-loving locals struggle to survive.

S1 E2: K'gari

Off the eastern coast of Australia lies K'gari, also known as Fraser Island; it is the largest sand island in the world where every meal is hard won; there's a tropical rainforest on top of the dunes.

S1 E1: Vancouver

Original Air Date: Sep 1, 2023

Vancouver Island is the largest island on the west coast of North America; every inch of the island from its mountains to its forests is connected to the sea and every animal has to find a way to fit into that alliance to survive.
