In celebration of Earth Day, explore the wonders of this extraordinary place we all call home through “Our Planet” on Netflix starting April 5, 2019. The majestic beauty and fragility of Mother Earth is captured masterfully in Netflix’s most ambitious nature docuseries to date, narrated by Sir David Attenborough. From the creator of Planet Earth, the eight-part series features never-before-seen footage of wildlife and their habitats — while also revealing why the natural world matters to us all and what steps must be taken to preserve it. The series is accompanied by Behind-the-Scenes content which will launch simultaneously on Netflix.
The ambitious four-year project has been filmed in 50 countries across all the continents of the world, with over 600 crew members, and focuses on the remarkable 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.
In the first episode, viewers will travel from the Brazilian rainforest to Norway’s Svalbard archipelago, discovering how each fragile habitat is connected and why they are all essential for life to thrive on this planet. Subsequent episodes capture Earth’s key biomes or habitats: the icy frozen worlds, jungles, coastal seas, deserts and grasslands, high seas, freshwater regions and forests. Thanks to an extensive team that includes some of the world’s best wildlife cinematographers, researchers and scientists — and the latest in 4K camera technology — each episode features several stunning sequences that have never been filmed before.
Unprecedented in scope and ambition, Our Planet will entertain and captivate a global audience of all ages. More importantly, the series will help start an important conversation about the home we all share at a crucial moment when the world needs to act.
In support of environmental sustainability, Globe and Hineleban Foundation, a non-stock, non-profit organization based in Bukidnon joined hands to reforest the mountain ranges of Mindanao, home to the country’s last watersheds inhabited by Indigenous People (IP’s) and Bangsamoro communities. This partnership was created to take on the enormous task of reforestation and was cemented via a Sacred Customary Compact with the IP’s and a Peace and Development role with the Bangsamoro People.
