Is There Still Room For Nature?

Aspen Ideas Festival

The forthcoming PBS series “Earth: A New Wild” is the multi-year quest by scientist M. Sanjayan to redefine what it means for us – all 7 billion of us -- to share the planet with wild nature. Filmed in 29 countries on six continents and produced by National Geographic and Passion Pictures, the series reveals how humans are inextricably linked with nature. Making a stark break from how we think of blue-chip nature films, "Earth: A New Wild" combines never before filmed wildlife spectacles with powerful human dramas that reveal how saving nature really means saving ourselves. Host and narrator Sanjayan will offer an exclusive first look at the series’ “Plains” episode, filmed in Zimbabwe, Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa, Russia, Norway, Montana and Colorado. Underwritten by PBS. M. Sanjayan
