Series combining stunning wildlife with high-octane adventure, as a team of scientists and wildlife film-makers from the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Natural History Unit explores one of the last great unspoilt jungle wildernesses on earth.

New Guinea is a rugged tropical island that is home to some of the strangest creatures on the planet. The team is based at the foot of Mount Bosavi, a giant extinct volcano covered in thick and largely unexplored rainforest.

The cameras follow the team every step of the way as they search for the evidence that may help preserve this last great jungle forever.
