Episode Information

High above Earth’s atmosphere, satellites are charting an extraordinary change to the Arctic tundra. Where there were once rivers, now chains of lush ponds are extending northwards - the pace of change is dazzling. The wild architects behind the transformation are the charismatic Alaskan beavers. As the tundra warms with climate change, woody plants are growing here in profusion, creating the perfect habitat for beavers whose dams have clogged rivers and streams to form 12,000 new ponds. In this series we follow these extraordinary animal characters as they go about their daily lives engineering a new tundra, and along the way, we gain an incredible insight into their lives and behaviours.
