The Making of Life on Our Planet

Apr 19

At The Making of Our Planet, join Dan Tapster for an exclusive look into this ambitious project from the science behind Earth’s previous extinction events to the groundbreaking techniques used to recreate prehistoric creatures and landscapes followed by a live Q&A.
At a time when the natural world faces unprecedented challenges, this is a rare chance to explore Earth’s history of resilience and discuss the importance of conservation and a sustainable future. The unforgiving frontier of climate change. The calving of a gigantic iceberg or the risks of fossil fuel exploration in the arctic are never far from our news screens. Yet what does it mean for those that live there? Follow polar bears, walruses, seals and penguins as they find their icy Edens in peril. Adventurers and explorers that have joined the tradition of the polar explorer and returned to tell why this frozen frontier is vital for this planet.
“‘What really makes OUR PLANET stand out is the clear driving story that runs through the entire series, and the wider communications project. The natural world is not just nice to have, it fundamentally matters to each and every one of us.” The Making of Our Planet Producers
