Charles Darwin's unique understanding of the world, "the theory of natural selection", is hailed as the greatest thought in human history. Darwin explained that all species have made the best use of the resources they have over a long period of evolution. Darwin also knew very well that these living conditions are not only geographical environment and climate, but also the coexistence relationship with other life: from the delicate relationship between bees and orchids, to the tense and close predatory relationship between cheetahs and gazelles. All life on earth is both a beneficiary and a contributor in their respective living spaces. This natural network of relationships in which human civilization has participated has been going on for thousands of years. Although Darwin's theory of evolution explains how the bonds between species arise, for nearly two hundred years we have only been able to understand the most basic aspects of the interconnectedness of life, and to have a simple idea of what matters in those relationships . In fact, these connections can be broken, think of the dinosaurs of the past, and the fossils of other species. "Our Planet" gives us the opportunity to witness the splendor of all things in these thousands of years, and listen to a section of ancient ecological poetry that is beyond human understanding. Our planet "Earth" has experienced five mass extinctions. All five mass extinctions were triggered by dramatic changes in the environment. The inability of most species to adjust and adapt to such dramatic changes in time has led to extinction. At this moment, we are in the midst of fears of a sixth mass extinction, one far more destructive in terms of destructive power than that which wiped out the dinosaurs. For centuries, the reckless way of life of mankind has driven the process of disasters to recur, the last time a small comet struck the earth and brought the destruction of all life. Currently, 96% of the total mass of mammals on earth comes from us humans and livestock, and the remaining 4% is other mammals such as elephants, Bengal tigers and bats. 70% of the birds living in the world are edible poultry, and raising chickens accounts for the vast majority. "Once, it was nature that determined how we survived; now, it's whether we humans can keep nature alive or not," said Sir David Attenborough in his speech at the premiere of Our Planet. One of the lessons Darwin's theory of evolution teaches us is how to break the "laws of nature" in danger, such as the agricultural and industrial revolutions. But humans are destroying nature at an extremely dangerous rate, such as population explosion and energy consumption. It is also destroying our future. Aren't the skeletons of giant creatures already in museums (like blue whales) warning us? Thirty years ago, it was humans that sent whales, including blue whales, to the brink of near extinction. Public condemnation around the world prompted an agreement to protect whales, which has come into effect, allowing most whale species to recover today. Scientists have gradually discovered that whales play an important role in the entire ecological environment, even the fish we eat on a daily basis. So protecting these wonderful species is actually being kind to humans themselves. Conservation action is urgent. Protecting the ecological environment is not only a scientific challenge, but also a challenge of communication and reflection. Netflix's latest eight-episode documentary series dares to challenge, "Our Planet" aims to impact a billion people around the world. It perfectly presents the natural life of the surviving creatures, and also expresses why human beings are needed to take responsibility and provide protection for the future common development of the environment and human beings. "I've always thought that only a few people, because they understand and love nature, are involved in protecting the planet," said Sir Attenborough. Some stories in "Our Planet" allow the audience to feel the wonder and charm of the earth across the screen, and other pictures show that a good turning point is indeed taking place: the film crew has spent a lot of time and energy for this, and The animals pursued good results together. Natural wonders have made us It's amazing, but what really makes our planet wonderful is the story of survival that runs through the entire world of life. Every human being has something to do with it, and that's what we need to be clear about. It also became the driving force for hundreds of filmmakers, photographers, and environmentalists to participate in the production of this documentary. Their dedication is a big part of what makes this documentary series so great. Thanks to the 92-year-old, respected Sir Attenborough, whose voice makes people dare to face mistakes, reflect deeply and cannot escape. Thanks to the professionalism and artistry of the original "Earth Pulse" and "Blue Planet" teams, another "new and visionary" film was made. Thanks to WWF and NetFlix for co-producing this film to reach more people's conscience. It is also because of the advantages of NetFlix that viewers in any country on earth (except mainland China) can hear this story at the same time, and for the first time reflect more thoroughly on what we are already familiar with. Please protect our planet.
