Equator From The AirSeason 1 Episode 4 - South East Asia

The region between the tropics is home to 40 percent of the world’s population. It’s rich in resources, and the perfect place to grow cash crops on a grand scale. As a result, this string of abundant habitats is blighted by poaching, deforestation and flooding. It’s where modern dilemmas come into sharp focus.
