Nature

Indonesia is a land of the strange and spectacular, of giant flowers and coral gardens, of dragons, tigers and glorious birds of paradise. A staggering 15% of all the world's species are found in this unique region.
The island chain straddles the equator it is a country forged by fire. Violent volcanic eruptions account for many of the islands, some huge, others merely a speck of rock. These islands are a centre of bio-diversity that's matched nowhere else in the world. It's one of the last wild frontiers, containing some of the least explored regions on earth. The story is one of invasion, extinction, isolation and evolution on an unparalleled scale. The remarkable Natural History of the world's largest archipelago is explored in three, one hour programmes.
Wild Indonesia is a remarkable story of dispersal, isolation and spectacular evolution.
Island Castaways
Shrouded in mystery, Indonesia is a bizarre and beautiful
place. On the distant island of Komodo, we see heavyweight
Komodo dragons throwing themselves at each other as they do
battle for a mate. On Sulawesi, maleo birds incubate their
huge eggs in hot volcanic sand and the female red-knobbed
hornbill, also castaway on the island, walls herself up in
a tree hole for 3 months to protect herself and her chick
from harm.


Underwater Wonderland
In Indonesia's underwater wonderland, flamboyant reef fish,
huge manta rays and shimmering schools of barracudas ride
the strong currents that flow between the 17,000 islands
that form the stepping-stones between Asia and Australia.
From the pygmy seahorse no larger than a fingernail, to the
mimic octopus that can change its body shape and behaviour
to suit its surroundings, we see the weird and wonderful
inhabitants of this underwater paradise.


Magical Forests
Magical Forests enters the steamy jungles of Borneo, Sumatra
and Java, where highly endangered Asian elephants and hairy
rhinos still roam. Thousands of miles to the east, we visit
the New Guinea jungle, to find a spiny echidna, prowling the
forest floor whilst the little known tree-house people live
in fragile homes perched precariously in the highest
branches. From sluggish tree kangaroos to flying foxes,
Indonesia is a unique meeting point for wildlife from the
East and West.
