In A Plastic Problem for Pilot Whales, narrator Sir David Attenborough describes the grim effects plastic pollution has had on short-finned pilot whales. Because this species lives in tight-knit families, the negative effects of pollution on one whale is felt by the others. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Blue Planet II, a natural history series that explores the world's oceans, the animals that live in them, and the threats they face, using modern filming techniques and equipment to capture previously unseen areas of the ocean.
In The Majestic Whale Shark host Simon Reeve sails through Indonesia’s Cenderawasih Bay, searching for the elusive whale shark. These gentle giants can grow as long as a bus and weigh up to 30 tons, yet much about them, like where they breed, remains unknown. At a fishing platform called a bagan, Simon spots one and marvels at its size and grace. He discovers how this area helps scientists study and protect these mysterious creatures. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Wilderness With Simon Reeve, an epic adventure into the heart of Earth’s last great wild areas, where nature is at its most beautiful and fragile.
In Resharking the Oceans, host Simon Reeve learns about the struggles sharks face due to overfishing, with millions killed each year. Sharks in Raja Ampat were on the brink of extinction, but thanks to the area’s now protected status, their numbers have increased 25 times. Simon also discovers "resharking," a conservation effort to repopulate the oceans with sharks. This initiative not only helps save sharks but also creates jobs for the local community. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Wilderness With Simon Reeve, an epic adventure into the heart of Earth’s last great wild areas, where nature is at its most beautiful and fragile.

In Bees and Food Production, a group gathers around the breakfast table to enjoy a breakfast made of food that isn’t impacted by bees. But, aside from a pot of tea and some toast, the table is bare. What foods do bees help us enjoy? Everything from fruit to dairy!
In Retreating Ice and Glacial Change, geologist Iain Stewart explains that the Columbia glacier in Alaska is moving quickly; it has retreated almost 9 miles (14 kilometers) since 1980. But this glacier is not the only one that is melting and changing as the planet warms. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Earth: The Power of the Planet, a documentary series in which Dr. Iain Stewart discovers how Earth's forces can shape nature, species, and even the climate.
In How Ice Provides a Reflective Shield on Earth, geologist Iain Stewart explains that ice is a unique substance. Because it floats and is reflective, it provides a reflective shield for the Earth and impacts how much energy is absorbed, which impacts the climate. The changing amounts of ice on the planet also impact how modern man has adapted. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Earth: The Power of the Planet, a documentary series in which Dr. Iain Stewart discovers how Earth's forces can shape nature, species, and even the climate.
