Around the World in 80 Gardens - Season 1 Episode 4 South America
0.00 60 minutes South America, almost twice the size of Europe, is a continent with the most diverse climate and range of landscapes on the planet. It's also home to more than 50,000 endemic plant species but is a land under intense ecological threat.
