Earth Day is being commemorated all over the world. And in the Philippines, there are literally thousands of reasons to celebrate. Our country, called a mega biodiversity" haven, is home to countless plant and animal species that can be found nowhere else on Earth.


Doc Ferds and Kiko travel to the heart of the jungle for some surprising discoveries. Little do we know that the plants we often take for granted may in fact hold the cure to some of the deadliest diseases of our time. Doc Ferds joins scientists in their search for new cures.


Still in the countrys forests, Born to be Wild showcases the macro world where even the smallest beings have a role to play in the ecosystem. We may often only step on them, but these tiny insects and critters make up a large number of the Philippines endemic species, those that can only be found in our territory.


No matter how rich or diverse, the countrys environment still faces many perils. While filming the lives of Dumagat natives at the foot of the Sierra Madre, the team encounters an ongoing forest fire one that is manmade. How can we save our forests from threats of our own making?

Marami ang hindi pumapansin sa maliliit na halaman at insektong nakikita natin sa mga kagubatan. Pero lingid sa ating kaalaman, malaki ang silbi ng mga ito para sa tao. Pinagaaralan ngayon ng mga siyentipipko ang ilang halamang hinihinalang maaaring maging gamot sa ibat ibang karamdaman.


Habang ang mga insekto na halos tinatapak-tapakan lang, nakakatulong palang magkalat ng nutrisyon sa mga halaman at puno upang maging malusog ang iba pang bagay na may buhay sa kagubatan.


Pero nanganganib ngayon na masira ang mga kagubatan dahil sa ibat ibang dahilan. Habang inaalam ang buhay ng mga Dumagat sa paanan ng Sierra Madre, masasaksihan ng grupo ang isang sunog sa gitna ng gubat gawa ito ng tao. Ang tuluyang pagkasira ng kabundukan ay ang pagkamatay din ng milyun-milyong buhay na nilalang na naninirahan at umaasa rito, kabilang na tayo.


Ngayong Earth Day, samahan ang wild tandem nina Doc Ferds Recio at Kiko Rustia na tuklasin
ang kagubatan na naglalaman ng samut saring buhay sa Pilipinas. Alamin kung bakit ito natatangi sa buong mundo at tinaguriang pang isang mega biodiversity country."
