At the heart of the Pacific Ring of Fire – a string of volcanoes around the edge of the Pacific Ocean – Indonesia’s volcanic landscapes and tropical forests are home to some of the rarest species on Earth. This groundbreaking series features previously unseen moments in exceptional production quality, including the last refuge of the Sumatran rhino, pygmy elephants deep in Borneo’s jungles, Komodo dragons overpowering buffalo, and intelligent orangutans using tools and natural remedies.
From the blue flames of the rare sulphur volcano Kawah Ijen to the misty summit of Mount Kinabalu, and the deep waters where whale sharks glide, this is a journey to a place of superlatives – a vanishing paradise. In a race against time to save endangered habitats and species, we reveal the urgent efforts underway to protect this extraordinary wilderness.
