Overheard at National Geographic
How are scientists cracking the mystery of elephant communication? And now that there are 8 billion humans, how is the Earth changing? Plus, how do National Geographic Explorers relate to the Soul of Music?
Discover it all on Overheard at National Geographic. Join us as we set out to explore the secrets of elephants inside Asian forests and across the African desert and savanna. Also, the world’s growing human population is on the verge of shaking up the list of most populous countries. We’ll look at how Nigeria is grappling with rapid growth as China deals with record lows in birth rates. And for Black History Month, sit in on conversations between explorers and world-famous musicians about how nature, history, and culture influence art.
