Planet Earth III

Accompanies the Landmark Series Narrated by David Attenborough




The iconic series that started it all returns: accompanying an 8-part programme narrated by David Attenborough, Planet Earth III takes you closer than ever to the world's most fascinating animals and landscapes - and humanity's irrevocable impact upon them.

The official tie-in to the third instalment in the legendary Planet Earth franchise

Few places on Earth remain untouched by humans, creating challenges for the wildlife we share it with. We have entered a new age, and we must look at the splendour of the natural world through a different lens.

From the depths of our oceans, to scorching deserts and the most remote jungles, Planet Earth III features spectacular places and surprising animal behaviours from all corners of our world. And for the first time, a human element is introduced to each landscape, highlighting how, in the age of the Anthropocene, today's planet has been forever changed by humanity and that wildlife now faces new challenges in our crowded, modern world.

Featuring over 250 beautiful full-colour photographs, Planet Earth III reveals the wonders and trials of life on an increasingly fragile planet, bringing you closer than ever before to our world’s most intriguing species, unseen landscapes and natural phenomena.
