    The Green Planet

    We rely on plants for almost everything, including the air we breathe and the food we eat. Two in five wild plants are threatened with extinction, but people are finding new ways to help them, from projects in Africa to reseed the landscape to the rebuilding of a tropical forest in Brazil, tree by tree.

    Eden: Untamed Planet

    Borneo is the richest rainforest island of all, home to 60,000 species of plants and animals. Six thousand of them are unique, and more are discovered almost daily. But this `paradise' is an illusion, the lush forest is effectively growing on a desert, with the soil shallow and poor in nutrients, having been leeched by eons of incessant rain.

    We visit an extraordinary bridge that spans a vast valley and becomes the tallest in the world, a luxury hotel was built upside down in an abandoned quarry in China, and what happens when you build a forest in the sky in the middle of a city.

    Civilisations

    Simon Schama looks at the rise of art as a tradeable commodity and its fate in the machine and profit-driven world. He asks whether art should create a realm separate from the modern world, a place where we can escape and pull the ladder up after us, or whether it should plunge headlong into the chaos and cacophony while transforming the way we see it and live in it.
