One Planet
(Discovery Channel, Saturday, 8 p.m.)
Not far from the North Pole, the islands of Svalbard constitute one of the most northerly land territories for many animals and plants. Basking under a midnight sun that shines for months, life prospers in what for others seem like a very inhospitable place. It is the natural home for the largest predator on earth: the polar bear. Svalbard has one of its biggest populations in the world. The polar bear prospers, thanks to the large production of seals around the islands. Hundreds of thousands of guillemots and auks occupy every nook and crevasse for their eggs and young ones. Join the race as the programme brings in expert conservationists and their efforts to save the wildlife.
