BIOMES - ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES - MOUNTAINS OF THE WORLD
SYNOPSIS
Biomes have been present long before humans inhabited planet earth. Ever since man became aware of and understood the surroundings, he went into a deep study of the same. The biologists divided the living world into major zones and called it ‘BIOMES’. Each biome is a world in itself having its own distinctive climate, plants and animals along with human beings who have become an integral part of every biome. The entire series of biomes has been covered under twelve topics and each topic is in turn divided into two parts to provide in depth knowledge of each biome.
Mountains of the World. Mountains, rising up from the sea level and reaching for the sky are not just a single biome but they are known to be a complex mixture of different biomes. They are so large that the astronauts traveling in space can see them clearly. Mountains are also known as the place of extremes with the worlds wettest, coldest and windiest places found here. These Mountains of planet earth present a fascinating view and hold inside it a vast array of vegetation. And where there is abundant vegetation there is bound to be birds, animals and of course human beings.
This program takes the viewer on a journey of discovery and understanding of Mountains of the World. It provides a window to look closely at the various aspects of the biome starting from climate of the biome to the future that is in store for it. This series is not only an endeavor to educate the viewer but also to create awareness about the importance of preserving these biomes in our own small ways before it becomes extinct.
