BBC’S Human Planet 'Cities: Surviving the Urban Jungle' on GMA News TV, September 29


BBC’S HUMAN PLANET
“Cities: Surviving the Urban Jungle”
ON GMA NEWS TV, SEPTEMBER 29, SUNDAY, 10PM




On its final episode, BBC’s Human Planet takes a look at the one environment that's been made by us, for us - the city. Narrated in Filipino by award-winning documentarist Kara David, Human Planet: Cities airs this Sunday on GMA News TV.

Over half of the world's population now lives in the urban jungle. The city is built to keep untamed nature out - but nature can't be pushed away. From bed bugs sucking our blood at night to rats in our restaurants, many animals have adapted to a life with us. But not all urban animals are seen as pests.

In the ancient city of Fez in Morocco, the leather tanneries depend for their business on wild pigeon droppings. Even futuristic Dubai would falter without falcons. In the suburbs of Jaipur, a Bishnoi woman breastfeeds an orphaned fawn.

People are starting to realize that nature is key to our continued survival. On Manhattan's rooftops, Human Planet finds a community of beekeepers. In Masdar, Abu Dhabi, British architect Norman Foster is creating a carbon-neutral, waste-free future city.

"Human Planet: Cities – Surviving the Urban Jungle" airs on September 29, Sunday, at 10PM on GMA News TV Channel 11.
