Greenwashing? Why wildlife television is finally engaging with the climate emergency

Firstpost  

The engagement of wildlife television with climate change is not greenwashing. By Jean-Baptiste Gouyon The BBC’s new wildlife television series featuring David Attenborough, Seven Worlds, One Planet, marks a drastic departure from previous programmes. As I show in my new book, BBC Wildlife Documentaries in the Age of Attenborough, wildlife television’s main environmental focus has traditionally been the conservation of biodiversity. Our Planet and Seven Worlds, One Planet therefore mark the start of a new era for wildlife television – one which doesn’t shy away from political and environmental problems. Ultimately, wildlife television’s long-awaited engagement with climate change is not greenwashing.
