I have to applaud the bbc because this show was just beautiful and to see how things are being effecting by things such as global warming etc really hammers home the damage it can do to so many things. Especial some of those poor animals. Thank you BBC
What an absolute treat from start to finish. I hope they do this for all the other continents although, sadly, I can't see David Attenborough being involved in much more (hope I'm wrong) and it just wouldn't be the same without him:

He is just back from filming something in China last week I believe.
The daily rerunning of all of his earlier series has the feel of a requiem to me. Although he looks wellI enough is there something we are not being told?
With Africas population out of control in the way it is, these animals are going to need all the help they can get.
Over half of Africa's population live in five of Africa's 51 countries, Nigeria, Egypt, Ethiopia, Congo and SA.
Vast parts of the continent are sparsely populated.
The real threat is from Asian population growth particularly India and China. They have of recent started by vast tracts of land in Africa to growth food for the vast population back home.
This expansion of agricutural land will squeeze the land available for wildlife.

Yep. Others have tried to fill his shoes, eg John Hurt, David Tennant, Steven Fry but wildlife documentaries just aren't the same without him.
Whilst it's heart-warming to see these small groups of concerned people doing what they can to protect animals, I feel depressed at the general situation re the decline of wildlife due to people's behaviour.:(

There is widespread acknowledgement within the scientific community that the climate of Africa has been changing as stated in the programme. We accept the evidence for 3.5 degrees increase is disputable and the commentary should have reflected that, therefore the line is being removed from the episode repeat (10 February) and the iPlayer version replaced.
Although I did enjoy it, I enjoyed the first episode the best but each was slightly less interesting as the series went on. The final episode was a strong finish to the series though.

Yah I always wondered why they couldn't step in. I guess there are just some things you just can't help
Thanks David, camera people, crew.

No but I noticed that too as I haven't seen it yet. Will have to record the repeat tomorrow.
Terrible! You'd think Attenborough went on a 4 letter tirade or something!
Well it's certainly correct that they remove it if this is purporting to be a serious scientific documentary yet it's quoting dodgy figures.
