BBC’S HUMAN PLANET
“Jungles: People of the Trees”
ON GMA NEWS TV, SEPTEMBER 1, SUNDAY, 10:15 PM

The rainforest is home to more species of plants and animals than any other habitat on the planet. But for humans, life there is not as easy as it looks.
 
This Sunday night on GMA News TV, BBC’s Human Planet takes us to the jungles – a bountiful, but surprisingly hostile environment for humans.  

Life in the trees requires great skill, ingenuity and sheer bravery. The Matis of Brazil carve 4-meter-long blow-pipes to hunt monkeys - in near total silence. Deep in the Congo forests, Tete defies death by scaling a giant tree using nothing more than a liana vine, and he must then negotiate an angry swarm of bees - all to collect honey for his family.

Three children from Venezuela's Piaroa tribe venture deep into the jungle to hunt tarantulas to toast for lunch! While in West Papua, the Korowai tribe show-off their engineering skills by building a high-rise home 35 meters up in the tree tops. Most memorable of all, in Brazil, Human Planet joins a unique monitoring flight in search for an un-contacted tribe.

Narrated in Filipino by award-winning broadcast journalist Kara David, this episode of BBC’s Human Planet airs this Sunday, September 1, at 10:15 PM on GMA News TV Channel 11.
