Life on Fire  Ash Runners

Learn how animals on New-Britain have learned to live with the Earth’s moods. Details

 

Program: Life on Fire

Episode: Ash Runners

On the volcanic island of New-Britain off the coast of Papua New Guinea, a handful of animals have learned to live with the Earth’s moods. When ash from a volcanic eruption invades their habitat, the choice is simple: leave or stay and adapt. In truth, it’s not that easy, since volcanoes and their actions are unpredictable and each creature responds in its own way.
