Our natural world often appears to be suffering at the hands of humans.

But leading conservation scientist Dr. M. Sanjayan makes the case that we have entered a new frontier when it comes to preserving our planet and all of its beings. He says Earth is a place where nature and humanity don't always destroy one another. Often, they rely on each other for survival. 

It's the subject of a new five-part series that premiers tonight from PBS called "Earth: A New Wild." Dr. Sanjayan traveled the world for the series, and tells The Takeaway's John Hockenberry about what that new relationship looks like. 

Check out a video about the series below.
