Since the birth of Netflix and its introduction here in the Philippines, it never fail to impress me with it’s well curated contents most specially its originals. Some of my recent favorites includes Selling Sunsets, Osmosis, and the anticipated Love, Death + Robots series. Check out my 5 highly suggested TV series on Netflix last 2018.

And just in time for the celebration of Earth Day, Nexflix is making us explore the wonders of this extraordinary place we all call home through “Our Planet” starting April 5, 2019. The majestic beauty and fragility of Mother Earth is captured masterfully in Netflix’s most ambitious nature docuseries to date, narrated by Sir David Attenborough. From the creator of Planet Earth, the eight-part series features never-before-seen footage of wildlife and their habitats — while also revealing why the natural world matters to us all and what steps must be taken to preserve it. The series is accompanied by Behind-the-Scenes content which will launch simultaneously on Netflix.

Having more than 7,000 islands and 20,000 species of plants and animals, the Philippines is one of the 17 mega-biodiverse countries in the world. Yet with all these rich resources, unfortunately the country’s situation is bleak and saddening.

More than 50% of old-growth forests in the Philippines are lost. More than 30,000 hectares of mangrove trees are degraded. Families who have been displaced by natural calamities reached more than 900,000. More than 640 species of animals in the country are threatened or endangered. Metro Manila alone produces more than 861,967 tons of trash. And every day, more than 40 incident reports of animal cruelty are reported.
