The islands of Indonesia, Malaysia and New Guinea are the biologically richest on earth. There are tigers and elephants, rhinos and birds of paradise. But why this profusion of life? Follows the story of the islands from their violent and fiery birth to reveal how the forces of the earth have shaped these Paradise Islands and their wildlife.
The sun's consistent daily rule sustains the greatest assemblage of life on Earth, a world of flying snakes and singing apes.
From the largest fish on Earth to tiny multicoloured crabs, the moon wields a mysterious power over the wildlife of the tropical seas and coastlines of the biologically richest islands on Earth.
