The Living Planet
The Living Planet: A Portrait of the Earth is a BBC nature documentary series written and presented by David Attenborough, looking at the ways in which living organisms, including humans,
adapt to their surroundings. The series consists of twelve episodes which explain how the Earth works and how living organisms survive and thrive in different environments.
Episode 10 - Worlds Apart. This episode investigates remote islands and their inhabitants. Some islands are tips of volcanoes; others are
coral atolls. Those that colonise them transform into new species with comparative speed. Attenborough visits Aldabra
in the Indian Ocean, which is 400 kilometres from the African coast. It has a vast population of sooty terns, which
enjoy a degree of protection from predators that is unavailable on the mainland.
