Ch.	Title	Description	#	Day	Date	Time	Length	RPT	CC	DVS	AD MD
36.1	West Africa: Togo and Benin	West Africa is the birthplace of Voodoo; in Togo and Benin ancestors commingle with the living. Whether its vulture heads for sale at a fetish market or sacred bloodstained altars, Voodoo is always front and center. Art Wolfe visits villages known for their vibrant inhabitants and intense rituals--he discovers frenzied trances, powerful masked dances and an extraordinary fire-eating ceremony--all part of everyday life.

36.1	New Zealand	New Zealand's extreme beauty is central to its identity. Here indigenous Maori people see themselves as guardians of the land.

Then he heads off to the wild South Island to explore the natural history of this pristine and beautifully preserved island nation. WEB LINK	207	TH	06/28/12	02:00am	00:26:46	(RPT)	(CC)	×	ST
36.3	Japan: Hokkaido and Honshu	The image many of us have of Japan is congested and kinetic. But Japan has a wild side. In winter, beyond its crowded cities, the country delivers quiet, unexpected natural beauty. Art Wolfe ventures north to the remote region of Hokkaido to view iconic red-crested cranes; south to the mountains to take a dip in Nagano's hot springs with mischievous macaque snow monkeys; and journeys on to the sacred temples of Mt. Fuji and Koyosan on a photographic pilgrimage. (1 of 13) WEB LINK	201	SU	06/03/12	08:00am	00:26:46	(RPT)	(CC)	×	ST
36.3	Australia: Arnhemland and the Kimberley	Australia's Northern Territory is an immense, untamed wilderness as brutal as it is beautiful. For the Aboriginal people, it's the place of the "Dreamtime", where land and story meet. Art Wolfe captures images of rock art intricately painted over thousands of years ago; discovers canyons carved by wind and water; and witnesses an ancient aboriginal dance as he chronicles the connection between the region's first people and the natural world.

36.3	Mali: Sahel to the Sahara	It is a fabled land of sand, salt and nomads. But Mali is more than the Sahara; it is a place where the Niger River flows past some of Africa's most unique tribal and architectural wonders. Art Wolfe follows the river road to the camouflaged villages of the cliff-dwelling Dogon people; floats downriver to Djenne's fantastic mud mosque; heads into the desert with nomadic Tuaregs; and finally travels on to Timbuktu where he meets up with a camel caravan.

36.3	Antarctica and the Falkland Islands	It is spring on the Antarctic Peninsula and the frozen wilderness is a veritable nursery for penguins, shore birds and seal pups. Art Wolfe crosses the infamous Drake Passage--the treacherous body of water south of Cape Horn to explore the Falkland Islands and the Antarctic coast--in search of wildlife and landscapes inherent to this pristine and unforgiving land.

36.3	Brazil: The Pantanal	Located in the heart of South America, the Pantanal is the world's largest wetland and home to one of the densest concentrations of wildlife on the planet. It's a unique place where human activity and wildlife coexist. Here Brazilian cowboys ride herd alongside toothy caimans, giant otters, capybaras, macaws and toucans. Art Wolfe arrives just as the seasonal floods have receded and discovers both an ecological paradise and a vibrant cowboy culture. WEB LINK	205	SU	06/17/12	08:00am	00:26:45	(RPT)	(CC)	×	ST

36.3	Wild Asia: Nepal and India	Beyond India and Nepal's crowded cities lie precious remnants of wild Asia where tigers, rhino and bear still roam. Art travels by elephant deep into Kipling country in search of the last of the planet's Bengal tigers. Here, through the lens of his camera, he captures images of mahouts handlers bound to the elephants they've cared for from childhood as they bathe and tend to their animals. In Nepal, Art encounters exotic wildlife including rare Asian rhinos, elusive sloth bears and primeval Gharial crocodiles. WEB LINK	208	WE	06/27/12	08:00am	00:26:45	(RPT)	(CC)	×	ST
