Our Planet​: Something Worth Saving

Netflix’s New Series Proves the Value of Film


Kate Dispenza

Passion, dedication and relevancy motivate Netflix’s newest nature documentary series ​Our
Planet​. The show couples beauty and tragedy in a way that accurately portrays the natural
world in today’s climate. We at Netflix are proud to use our service’s accessibility and
universality to promote change.

James Honeyborne, the man who brought you the wildly popular
Blue Planet II​, produced the show. Clearly no stranger to the genre,
Honeyborne demonstrated his passion for nature through the vast
scope of wildlife and affectionate details included in ​Our Planet​.
Covering everything from whales to protozoa, the series imparted a
love letter to the natural world.

“​Today, wildlife and wild places are facing unprecedented


challenges. A pressing need to tell important, surprising and
inspiring stories about our world exists,” Honeyborne said, “Working
with Netflix means we can create game-changing documentaries
that can reach and engage a huge global audience.”

And it’s true—we ​are​ in a time of environmental crisis. The extinction rate ​exceeds the norm by
nearly 10,000 times​, meaning dozens of species ​go ​extinct every day. Human-created problems
like deforestation and polluti​on continue to wreak havoc on ecosystems all over the world.
Concerns over global climate change are at an all time high; unless we take real steps by 2035,
the effects of the crisis will be irreversible.

Netflix has over 148 million subscribers worldwide. We feel that with an audience this big, a
responsibility to address important subject matter exists. By creating a series focused on
positivity and the beauty of nature, we hope to inspire people to take action. ​Our Planet
showcases nature at its finest and proves it is som​ething worth saving.
