The series, presented by the Blue Planet star, will investigate what the future holds for the planet. It comes after a WWF report, published last year, stated that the mammal, bird, fish, reptile and amphibian populations have shrunk by 60% in just over 40 years. According to a separate UN report, nearly a third of corals around the world and more than a third of marine mammals are threatened with extinction 2.
Alison Kirkham, BBC Controller Factual Commissioning, said, “Even today a record number of wildfires are burning in the Amazon and a million species are threatened with extinction. We know our audience has a hunger to understand how these urgent environmental issues affect them, but more than that, what they themselves can do in their homes. We’ve proven with Big Blue Live, Climate Change the Facts, Drowning in Plastic that we can bring big broad audiences to complicated environmental subjects.
