| Summary |
"Grasslands feed the world. Over thousands of years, we humanshave learned to grow graiins on the grasslands and domesticate the creatures that live there. Our success has propelled our population to almost seven billion people. But this episode reveals that, even today, life in the "Garden of Eden" isn't always rosy. We walk witht eh Dorobo people of Kenya as they bravely attempt to scare off a pride of hungry lions from their freshly caught kill. We gallop across the Steppe with extraordinary Mongolian horsement who were "born in the saddle". And in a perfect partnership with nature built up over generations maasai children must literally talk to the birds! The honeyguide leads them to find sweet treats, but they'll have to repay the favour." -- website |
