Planet Earth
The Planet Earth is a BBC nature documentary series narrated by David Attenborough, looking at a global overview of different habitats on Earth. The series consists of eleven episodes which cover various different types of wildlife habitats on our planet such as mountains, caves, deserts, and the polar regions. The first episode "From Pole to Pole" gives a general overview of the series by briefly touching what to be dealt with from each individual episode, and it reveals the effect of gradual climatic change, i.e. global warming. The remainder explore the habits on Earth one by one: mountains, rivers, caves, deserts, polar regions, plains, jungles, shallow seas, seasonal forests and seas far from land.
