Force of Nature

Reveals the incredible ways in which all life is impacted by our journey around the Sun. Earth's weather is becoming more extreme, and questions are being raised about animals' ability to adapt quickly and survive.

As the planet's shifting rain patterns rewrite the rules, survival is no longer about strength alone. It is about timing, instinct, and the courage to move forwards when faced with rising floodwaters.

Our coasts have always been an extreme environment to raise a family, but the challenges of parenthood are exacerbated with warming seas - forming earlier than ever before.

Cold-adapted animals must change their behaviour as their world melts. High in the peaks of the Indian Himalayas, a snow leopard is forced from his home by a rival male. And a young Arctic fox in Svalbard must face her first winter alone.

New extremes of heat and drought are pushing the extraordinary behavioural and physical adaptations of wombats, leopards and kangaroo rats to their very limits.

We turn the camera on the extraordinary people who are dedicating their lives to helping animals cope with today's extreme weather. All around the world, people are making small changes which make a world of difference. These are their stories.
