"There can be no greater legacy than giving young people the tools they need to save our planet.”
Sir David Attenborough
The new Netflix series narrated by Sir David Attenborough has been getting a lot of attention at the moment. It's superb, and I watched the first episode earlier - stunning footage as always. You can also see stories and clips from the premiere at the Natural History Museum last week, in front of the statue of Charles Darwin.
Our Planet is a reminder of what we are doing to the planet, and other plant and animal species which share it with us. The first episode starts with the sea bird colonies which depend on the Humboldt Current - which is affected by El Niño, and the sediment lost from deserts. A reminder of the importance of teleconnections.
I ordered the book, and it was delivered today, and looks excellent as well as a resource to use.
I also referenced David Attenborough in the blurb to one of my sessions at the GA Conference, which starts tomorrow evening.
The series comes with a whole range of additional materials for teachers and educators to use the series with students.
Here are the episodes and additional resources.
