Next Episode of Paradise Islands is
not planed. TV Show was canceled.
For almost 100 years, Coíba was inhabited only by criminals and political prisoners. Now it's one of the most biodiverse regions on the planet. Beautiful but extremely dangerous—that's how many Panamanians think of the island of Coíba 30 miles from their southern coast. The largest island of the 38 islands contained in Coíba National Park, Coíba is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and one of the most biodiverse regions on the planet. Containing just over 120,000 acres, it makes those who visit its shores feel as if they're stepping back in time to an era when the Earth was undeveloped. In addition to the 1,450 plant species on the island, Coíba's forests are filled with hundreds of unique animals, and pristine coral reefs lie just beyond Coíba's beaches. The island's natural beauty, however, is an accidental case of conservation, attributable to the region's dark past as one of the Paradise Islands.
Southeast Asia's islands are an extraordinary world of tree climbing kangaroos and boxing pigs, where birds hatch from the ash of erupting volcanoes. The region's biological richness is the result of a violent collision between two different worlds, millions of years in the making. This is the story of how the violent power of the Earth has created a realm of unparalleled biodiversity and beauty.
One force rules over the islands of Southeast Asia more than any other. It makes snakes fly and apes sing. It turns some trees into towering giants and others into stealthy killers. It is the awesome power of the tropical sun. This is the story of how, in these ancient rainforests, the sun's energy sustains the greatest assemblage of life on Earth.
The richest seas in the world surround the islands that lie between Asia and Australia. The power of the moon is still felt beyond the range of the tide. Tidal currents sweep across coral reefs, bringing plankton, and making the reefs the richest on earth. This is all the product of the moon and millions of years of evolution.
