Academy Award-winning Passion Pictures and HHMI Tangled Bank Studios present one of the most important, but untold, science stories of our timea tale with profound implications for the fate of life on our planet. Beginning in the 1960s, a small band of young scientists headed out into the wilderness, driven by an insatiable curiosity about how nature works. Immersed in some of the most remote and spectacular places on Earthfrom the majestic Serengeti to the Amazon jungle; from the Arctic Ocean to Pacific tide poolsthey discovered a single set of rules that govern all life. Now in the twilight of their eminent careers, these five unsung heroes of modern ecologyBob Paine, Jim Estes, Mary Power, Tony Sinclair, and John Terborghshare the stories of their adventures, and how their pioneering work flipped our view of nature on its head. Across the globe, they discovered that among the millions of species on our planet, some are far more important than others. They called these species keystones because they hold communities of plants and animals together, just like a keystone holds a stone arch in place.
