Isolated from the rest of the world, they harbor remarkable wildlife and pioneering human communities found nowhere else on Earth.

HAWAII | Wed., Sep. 30 at 8 p.m. on WKAR-HD 23.1 & LIVE STREAMING
Hawaii, the most remote island chain on Earth, offers sanctuary for wildlife that has reached its tropical shores. From humpback whales to waterfall-climbing fish, it’s home to an extraordinary wealth of wildlife.

MADAGASCAR
The oldest island on Earth, Madagascar has been isolated longer than any other place in the world. Life here has had time to evolve in unusual ways, resulting in more unique wildlife than possibly any other island on the planet.

BORNEO
Borneo, the third largest island on Earth, may seem like a paradise but its harsh landscape proves a struggle to survive. These challenges allow the island to host a greater diversity of life than almost any other island.
