For the very first time, we look back at our own planet.

Since then, the human population has more than doubled.

This series will celebrate the natural wonders that remain,

When human beings built their first settlements

For generations, this stable Eden nurtured our growing civilizations.

But now, in the space of just one human lifetime,

wildlife populations have, on average, declined by 60 percent.

the stability of nature can no longer be taken for granted.

And with our help, the planet can recover.

Never has it been more important to understand how the natural world works,

Wildlife still flourishes in astonishing numbers

Along the Peruvian coast of South America,

seabirds congregate in colonies millions strong.

Every morning, the birds leave their colonies

to fish in one of the richest seas on Earth.

The huge flocks of cormorants and boobies are all seeking one thing:

More and more birds join the feeding frenzy.

because a powerful oceanic current, the Humboldt,

bringing with it rich nutrients from the ocean's depths.

is found in the shallow seas close to the coast.

the seas, for the most part, are a blue desert.

But even these distant waters may be enriched

by a most unexpected connection to the land.

often hundreds of kilometers from the ocean,

Every year, winds sweep up two billion tons of dust into the sky.

At least a quarter of it eventually falls on the sea,

providing nutrients needed by the microscopic organisms

in search of the riches that distant deserts may have nourished.

A shoal of mackerel has discovered a swarm of krill...

that feed on the ocean's floating microscopic plants.

But the mackerel themselves are food for the dolphins.

They drive the mackerel towards the surface,

The wings that normally propel the birds through the air

now drive them six meters down through the water.

Whilst the birds pick off the top of the shoal...

the predators from both the sea and the air

relies on such connections between different habitats.

Water evaporating from the surface of the sea

And these eventually release the fresh water as rain.

But these life-giving rains are not evenly spread over the land.

Few places on the land are more hostile to life.

A few tracks cross it, made by animals searching unsuccessfully for water.
