  • Greening Wildlife Documentary’, in Libby Lester and Brett Hutchins (Eds) Environmental Conflict and the Media, New York: Peter Lang
    Morgan Richards (forthcoming 2013) ‘Greening Wildlife Documentary’, in Libby Lester and Brett Hutchins (eds) Environmental Conflict and the Media, New York: Peter Lang. GREENING WILDLIFE DOCUMENTARY Morgan Richards The loss of wilderness is a truth so sad, so overwhelming that, to reflect reality, it would need to be the subject of every wildlife film. That, of course, would be neither entertaining nor ultimately dramatic. So it seems that as filmmakers we are doomed either to fail our audience or fail our cause. — Stephen Mills (1997) Five years before the BBC’s Frozen Planet was first broadcast in 2011, Sir David Attenborough publically announced his belief in human-induced global warming. “My message is that the world is warming, and that it’s our fault,” he declared on the BBC’s Ten O’Clock News in May 2006. This was the first statement, both in the media and in his numerous wildlife series, in which he didn’t hedge his opinion, choosing to focus on slowly accruing scientific data rather than ruling definitively on the causes and likely environmental impacts of climate change. Frozen Planet, a seven-part landmark documentary series, produced by the BBC Natural History Unit and largely co-financed by the Discovery Channel, was heralded by many as Attenborough’s definitive take on climate change. It followed a string of big budget, multipart wildlife documentaries, known in the industry as landmarks1, which broke with convention to incorporate narratives on complex environmental issues such as habitat destruction, species extinction and atmospheric pollution. David Attenborough’s The State of the Planet (2000), a smaller three-part series, was the first wildlife documentary to deal comprehensively with environmental issues on a global scale.

  • Sir David Attenborough
    Sir David Attenborough David Attenborough is a wildlife film-maker and naturalist (a scientist who studies animals and their behaviour). He has been making television programmes for over 60 years and is considered by many to be a national treasure. Early Life David Frederick Attenborough was born in London on 8th May 1926. Growing up, he lived with his parents (Mary and Frederick) and his two brothers (Richard and John) on the campus of University College, Leicester, as his father was a principal there. In 1939, the Attenborough family fostered two German-Jewish girls called Irene and Helga, who became like sisters to David. As a child, David loved science and nature: he collected fossils, rocks, and other specimens, such as bird eggs. After finishing school, he went to Cambridge University to study natural sciences. Once he graduated, he was called to do two years’ service in the Royal Navy. He spent those two years in North Wales. Television In 1952, David joined the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) full time as a producer. In 1954, he began working on a series called ‘Zoo Quest’. This was filmed in many interesting places and showed animals in their natural environment. Something that hadn’t been done much before. The show was incredibly popular. David left the BBC in 1972 so he could write and produce his own shows. In 1979 he started a series called ‘Life on Earth’ which became popular. He continued to add to his ‘Life Collection’ for over 30 years, with each series focusing on a different plant or animal group.

    Vol. 98: 27–39, 2012 DISEASES OF AQUATIC ORGANISMS Published February 17 doi: 10.3354/dao02418 Dis Aquat Org Oral and cloacal microflora of wild crocodiles Crocodylus acutus and C. moreletii in the Mexican Caribbean Pierre Charruau1,*, Jonathan Pérez-Flores2, José G.

We recovered 47 bacterial species (28 genera and 14 families) from all samples with 51.1% of these belonging to the family Enterobacteriaceae. Fourteen species (29.8%) were detected in both crocodile species and 18 (38.3%) and 15 (31.9%) species were only detected in American and Morelet’s crocodiles, respectively. We recovered 35 bacterial species from all oral samples, of which 9 (25.8%) were detected in both crocodile species. From all cloacal samples, we recovered 21 bacterial species, of which 8 (38.1%) were detected in both crocodile species. The most commonly isolated bacteria in cloacal samples were Aeromonas hydrophila and Escherichia coli, whereas in oral samples the most common bacteria were A. hydrophila and Arcanobacterium pyogenes. The bacteria isolated represent a potential threat to crocodile health during conditions of stress and a threat to human health through crocodile bites, crocodile meat consumption or carrying out activities in crocodile habitat.

  • A-Level Geography Pre-Year 12 Tasks
    A-Level Geography Pre-Year 12 tasks Geography is a very complex subject which encompasses our everyday lives. As the recent events of 2020 have shown the globalisation and connectivity of people has resulted in this year being like none other in living memory. The world has essentially shut down… The Year 12 course starts with the following two topics: Population and the Environment (Human Geography) Water and Carbon Cycles (Physical Geography) Tasks for Population and the Environment This topic looks at how the population density and distribution of people on Earth is determined by the climate, water supply and soils in each biome. Within this there are many links to the spread of diseases, levels of development and population structure. Task 1: On the internet find 2 maps to show the population distribution and density of people on Earth, then find a map to show the global biomes. For each biome get a definition of the characteristics and key locations. Using the population distribution and density maps annotate the areas on Earth where most people are found. Do this for each continent, add on any large cities you know and physical features such as deserts and mountain ranges. When you have done this use the biome map and your annotated maps to see which biomes are able to support the largest numbers of people. Can you spot a trend? Task 2: Linking into Task 1, find a population density map of Egypt, then research its population and why it has such a distinctive pattern. Task 3: To show the link between the spread of disease and the population pick 2 of the following diseases and create a timeline to show the global spread through the human population.
