Australia is very much a land of birds - some 750 species all told. Each of Australia's varied landscapes has its own particular mix of species - deserts, woodlands, rainforests, rivers and seashores. Here, 101 species have been selected to represent the rich diversity. The compilation has been chosen from the files of GEO Productions, perhaps the most comprehensive archive of film on Australian birds in existence.

From Everest base camp to the Amazon basin, the high Africa savannah to the temperate rainforests of the Pacific Northwest, from the frenzy of the London metropolis to the slums of Cairo, people around the planet are trying to re-establish a balance with nature. Against this stimulating backdrop of local contrasts, cultural frameworks and timeless regional diversity, A New World spotlights the front-line battles of 13 visionaries; men and women who have dedicated their lives to finding a new way.
Sights, sounds and music become powerful components in describing our protagonist''s world, reaching back through time to rediscover ancient tribal wisdoms and our most elemental connections to the land. Beyond the impenetrable jungle wall, behind the urban confusion, the heroes of A New World have met and conquered life''s most mysterious forces. In the process each, in their particular way, reaffirms the timeless bond between Man and Nature evoked across the globe in fable, legend and lore.
