Chris explores one of biology's biggest questions through emperor penguins, coral reefs, monarch butterflies and amphibians. As the planet changes faster than species can adapt, he asks whether evolution has failed...or whether we've taken away the one thing it has always relied upon: time.

Along the way, he shares stories of hope, highlighting the scientists, conservationists and communities working to give nature a chance to recover.
