Butfield Colin Bücher

David Attenborough has filmed in all the oceanic environments of the planet, from icy seas at the poles to remote coral reefs. Together with his long-time collaborator Colin Butfield, he shares the story of the last great wilderness that shapes the land we live on, regulates the climate, and creates the air we breathe. Dive into eight unique habitats hidden in saltwater. Navigate through kelp forests, mangroves, and coral reefs, and glimpse into the deepest corners of the least explored ecosystem on Earth, hidden nearly eleven kilometers below the surface. Embark on a fascinating journey of discovery and encounter leatherback turtles and blue whales, clownfish and bioluminescent jellyfish, vampire squid and "headless chicken monsters" – a peculiar species of deep-sea octopus. With the warmth, intelligence, and wonder characteristic of all of David Attenborough's work, Ocean presents a world that is desperately fragile yet remarkably resilient with its extraordinary regenerative abilities. It is not too late to restore this vital habitat. If we respect it, the marine world will be richer and more breathtaking than we can imagine.

As Prince William, founder of The Earthshot Prize, said, 'The Earth is at a tipping point and we face a stark choice: either we continue as we are and irreparably damage our planet, or we remember our unique power as human beings and our continual ability to lead, innovate, and problem-solve. People can achieve great things. The next ten years present us with one of our greatest tests - a decade of action to repair the Earth.' The Earthshot concept is simple: Urgency + Optimism = Action. We have ten years to turn the tide on the environmental crisis, but we need the world's best solutions and one shared goal - to save our planet. It's not too late, but we need collective action now. The Earthshots are unifying, ambitious goals for our planet which, if achieved by 2030, will improve life for all of us, for the rest of life on Earth, and for generations to come. They are to: Protect and Restore Nature Clean our Air Revive our Oceans Build a Waste-Free World * Fix our Climate EARTHSHOT: HOW TO SAVE OUR PLANETis the first definitive book about how these goals can tackle the environmental crisis. It is a critical contribution to the most important story of the decade.
