Finally I found this, as I remember it growing up - especially the theme music which was so strange at the time.

There is no wikipedia entry for this "Our World". My husband and I were sure this existed but without finding this particular site we would have started to doubt our recollections. Thanks for the memories, and to Brendon for the theme tune info :)

God, do I remember this! Was only 11 at the time.
LOVED the theme tune too which was by Jean Michel Jarre (Equinoxe Part 4).
I will always remember the episode with the condors and the pan flute music that accompanied it while they flew about the mountains.
Fantastic stuff!

The theme music to 'Our World', a long-running natural history documentary slot on TVNZ, was very popular with viewers in the 80s and 90s.
