From the creators of the award-winning Planet Earth, and produced in partnership with World Wildlife Fund, Our Planet explores the unique and precious wonders of our natural world, combining the stunning photography and technology that we have come to expect from an Attenborough documentary series, with an unprecedented, never-before-filmed look at the planet’s remaining wilderness areas and their animal inhabitants. Attenborough’s narration tells the story of each of these habitats and the wildlife that call them home – taking us on a journey through deserts, grasslands, jungles, seas, forests and polar regions – but importantly also shows us the impact that humankind is having on our planet, and crucially how interconnected we are with different habitats. What we (humans) do on this planet, directly influences nature and vice-versa.
“The ambitious four-year project has been filmed in 50 countries across all the continents of the world, with over 600 members of crew capturing more than three and a half thousand filming days, and will focus on the breadth of the diversity of habitats around the world, from the remote Arctic wilderness and mysterious deep oceans to the vast landscapes of Africa and diverse jungles of South America,” reads the synopsis from Netflix.
The series will explore some of the world’s most important habitats to reveal what must be preserved “if we are to ensure a future where both humans and nature can thrive”.
