The Year Earth Changed shows the upside of 2020
No one needs to be reminded that people around the world were asked to stay home during the pandemic, which has now gone on for over 12 months. But it wasn’t all bad. “During this most difficult year, many people have reappraised the value and beauty of the natural world and taken great comfort from it,” said Attenborough. “But the lockdown also created a unique experiment that has thrown light on the impact we have on the natural world. The stories of how wildlife responded have shown that making even small changes to what we do can make a big difference.”
The Year Earth Changed shows uplifting stories that came out of the global lockdown. From hearing birdsong in deserted cities, to witnessing whales communicating in new ways, to encountering capybaras in South American suburbs, people all over the world have had the chance to engage with nature like never before.
The one-hour special will premiere on Apple TV+ in more than 100 countries on April 16, 2021. Until then watch a preview:
