Across the world, wilderness areas have started disappearing because of expanding human development, deforestation and the depletion of natural resources.
As a result humans and wildlife are living in closer proximity than ever before – a global issue that threatens the survival of both humans and wild animals, as they compete for limited space and resources. If it isn’t addressed urgently, it will have a catastrophic affect on the environment and on communities that live alongside wild animals daily.
Documentary THE EDGE OF EXISTENCE (PBS Thursday 30th September 8PM) tells the story of life in the Western Corridor of the Serengeti, and the daily challenges that the people there face as they struggle to co-exist with Africa’s wildlife.
