The Equator is not only the line that divides the Earth in two; it is also the climatic and evolutionary powerhouse of the world.

Here, where the sun burns at its most intense, the pace of evolution quickens. The Equator covers only five percent of the Earth's surface but is home to 50 percent of its animal and plant species.

Brought to our screens by TVNZ, Equator takes you on a journey to some of the earth's most extreme environments to examine animal and plant life in six of the world's equatorial 'hotzones': The Rift Valley in Africa; the Amazon Basin; the peaks of the Andes; Borneo; Indo-Pacific and the Galapagos Islands.
