BIOMES - ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES - SHRUB LANDS PART
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.
The most common thing about Shrub lands is that they grow where water is in short supply for several months in a year. This makes the shrub lands tougher than trees and they are in a much better position to survive the long droughts as well as the threat to catch fire. For human beings Shrub lands can be a tough place to survive but for many animals it is the perfect place to make a home.
This program takes the viewer on a journey of discovery and understanding of Shrub lands. 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.
