Sir David Attenborough’s latest documentary film, Ocean: Earth’s Last Wilderness, shows us a world which is both desperately fragile yet astonishingly resilient, with an extraordinary capacity to repair itself. From the icy seas of our poles to remote coral islands, David Attenborough has filmed in every ocean habitat on planet earth. 

​

The book was written with David’s long-term collaborator Colin Butfield, who is co-founder of Studio Silverback and an adviser for the Earthshot Prize.  Colin will share the story of our last great wilderness - the one which shapes the land we live on, regulates our climate and creates the air we breathe.

The book takes you on a journey of wonder and discovery in eight unique saltwater habitats, through kelp forests, mangroves and coral reefs and down almost 11,000 feet to the deepest corners of the most unexplored ecosystem on our planet.  It's not too late to restore our most vital habitat. If we treat it with respect, our marine world will be even richer and more spectacular than we can imagine.

‘This is the story of our ocean and we must write its next chapter together.  For if we save the sea, we save our world.  After a lifetime of filming our planet, I’m sure that nothing is more important.’ Sir David Attenborough
