2) “Amphibious Soul: Finding the wild in a tame world” by Craig Foster – An awe-inspiring narrative about the power of nature and our place within it, from the creator of “My Octopus Teacher”, filmmaker Craig Foster.

Watch the promo for 𝘾𝙝𝙪𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙙 𝙏𝙤 𝘽𝙚 𝘽𝙖𝙘𝙠?🐦⬛
Cornwall was the last place choughs bred in England, in 1947, before becoming extinct in the country. Now, in an exciting new success story, they've been brought back with a lot of help from their friends. Captive-bred birds from Cornwall are now flying free in Kent, and Jersey in the Channel Isles. And the aim is to expand the populations further afield over time.
In this Brock Initiative film, we follow the progress of nesting pairs in Cornwall and see how they get on in this wonderful rescue project in beautiful places. 🐦⬛
Choughs have been in the news quite a bit recently, good news stories of their comeback, so be sure to watch the full "Chuffed to be Back?" film by Richard Brock here: https://youtu.be/gQIA19OyF_U?si=idvXhhJjd4SRUizC 👀

About "How to Speak Whale: A Voyage Into the Future of Animal Communication" in 60 seconds! 🗣️🐋
What would it take to have a conversation with a whale? In this video wildlife film maker turned author Tom Mustill has tried to distil his book, "How To Speak Whale", into 60s.
Tom says "I've been investigating this idea since 2015 when I was breached on by a humpback and scientists used AI to figure out who the whale was. I discovered a revolution in biology as the tools of the tech revolution are used to find patterns in the behaviour of other animals and to crack the codes of their communications. Scientists are even building a Google Translate for animals."

BBC Wildlife Magazine Spring Special Issue 2021 - "Planet Crunch" Ad
Have you seen Brock Initiative's advertisement in the #Spring edition of BBC Wildlife Magazine? 👀 The magazine is full of excellent #wildlife news, as usual, but we are very excited about their two-page spread about the publication of Richard Brock’s #PlanetCrunch book and films … OUT NOW & FREE to all!! 💚 Watch the films and order the book via their website: https://brockinitiative.org/product/planet-crunch-the-life-or-death-of-planet-earth-by-richard-brock/ 👍 Please share far and wide … They want to reach as many people as possible with this project!! 🙏

PLANET CRUNCH The Life (or Death?) of Planet Earth by Richard Brock – This ambitious project of 3×25-minute films on @YouTube and @Vimeo, plus a book, is another attempt to draw attention to the challenges we all face; especially involving #biodiversity.
.
There will be winners and losers, and, in the shadow of Covid-19, it’s understandable that viewers and readers may be suffering from fatigue about the fate of the planet – and us.
.
Since autumn 2020 there have been at least four new authoritative books with such titles as “Hope in Hell”, “Who Cares Wins”, “There is No Plan B”, and David Attenborough’s best-seller “A Life on Our Planet – my Witness Statement and Vision for the Future”.
.
So, is there room, and reason, for more in 2021? Well there is. “Planet Crunch” is very different, and is presented in a very popular illustrative style and is right up-to-date. The 150-page book is based on how the media have lifted the natural world to the front-page headlines.
.
Contents of my Planet Crunch book, across 19 chapters, include #DavidAttenborough; #GretaThunberg; biodiversity; #shopping; #forests; #farming; #fishing; #food; #consumption; #waste #plastics #recycling; #energy #oil; #climatechange; #Covid19; #water; the media; #money #fashion; Trump/Biden; #aviation #travel #tourism; #humanpopulation; #China; #nature and us.

Planet Crunch – The Life (or Death?) of Planet Earth
"Planet Crunch – The Life (or Death?) of Planet Earth" is a unique perspective on planet Earth at crunch-time. Based on how the media have lifted the natural world to the front-page headlines, the book is richly illustrated, packed with commentary on wildlife, natural resources, impacts of global politics, population, climate change and our future.
Richard Brock, filmmaker, author and publisher, has created a book for everyone. He describes it as political, challenging, cheeky, significant, educational and even rude! A publication that is both up-to-date and down-to-earth.
It’s for all those who are concerned about the future at this time of “Planet Crunch”.
