Description

We’re exploring the theme of recovery, delving into times when we’ve stepped in to help save our natural world, and looking at the moments when it’s come to our rescue too. We’ll be starting off in the sea off the West Coast of Africa where a crew member from the latest David Attenborough series, A Perfect Planet, will take us behind the scenes on an eye-opening rescue mission. We’ll then meet the Bloom family, whose lives were turned around following a life-changing accident. The road to recovery came in the unexpected form of a mischievous Australian magpie. Finally, we’ll burrow into the world of wombats and meet a woman who has journeyed through much of life’s ups and downs with these four-legged creatures at her side.Thank you for listening to another series of the BBC Earth podcast.As ever, we love hearing from you on social media, so do share with us your favourite episode so far or a story that amazed, surprised or moved you…To find out more about David Attenborough’s stunning natural world series, A Perfect Planet, visit the BBC Earth website: bbcearth.comWebsite: www.bbcearth.comFacebook: www.facebook.com/bbcearth/Instagram: www.instagram.com/bbcearth/Twitter: www.twitter.com/bbcearth Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.
