Join David Attenborough to discover how diverse forces work together to keep our planet in perfect balance. A Perfect Planet is an awe-inspiring exploration of Earth’s power and fragility.
Johannesburg, South Africa (02 January 2021) – A Perfect Planet is a unique fusion of blue-chip natural history and earth science that explains how our living planet operates. This five-part series will show how the forces of nature drive, shape and support Earth’s great diversity of wildlife.
“Planet Earth is perfect. Everything about our world – its size, its distance from the Sun, it’s spin and tilt, its moon – is perfectly suited to our existence, and our planet’s natural forces perfectly nurture life.
A global weather system circulates and distributes fresh water to all corners of the globe, marine currents deliver nutrients to even the deepest reaches of the ocean, sunlight warms and energises everything it touches, and powerful volcanoes create and fertilise the land. As a result, there is literally no part of our planet where life can’t be found.”
The first four episodes explore the power of volcanoes, sunlight, weather and oceans. The final episode in the series looks at the dramatic impact of the world’s newest force of nature: humans – and what can be done to restore our planet’s perfect balance.
Coming soon to BBC.
