The world’s 15th biggest island is the largest in the Philippines. A land of contrast, from the urban sprawl of the capital Manila to huge hidden forests, the world’s most species-rich reefs and a dozen active volcanoes dominate the landscape. Nigel meets the extraordinary creatures that live in these environs.
The most westerly island in the archipelago, Palawan is known as the Last Frontier. Nigel will explore its ancient rainforests, pristine coasts, coral reefs and incredible underground treasures.
The Philippines has a greater variety of life per square mile than any other country. Half of its 52,000 species are found nowhere else on Earth. An archipelago of 7000 tropical islands scattered in the Pacific, it's a land of contrasts, from calm tropical seas sheltering delicate castles of coral, to the smoke and fire of twenty active volcanoes; from the world's largest eagle to one of the smallest primates, the tiny tarsier. In the style of the hugely successful 'Wild Colombia with Nigel Marven', this series is one of the first to reveal the extraordinary natural riches of the Philippines where many of the country's creatures have never been caught on camera before.
