A Perfect Planet_ Extended Trailer _ New David Attenborough Series (BBC Earth)
Nature researcher and one of Britain's most famous television broadcasters, Sir David Attenborough, is coming up on the BBC with a new five-part series called "A Perfect Planet" that shows how the 4 powerful elements of nature work together to sculpt and encourage life on the bright blue dot Our fragility, while the fifth element - humans - destroys this perfection at breakneck speed.
According to him, we are at a "crucial point" and in the face of a variety of disasters - they can be prevented if we understand the forces that drive them and how they can be stopped.
The series, whose research and photography lasted about five years, brings viewers to different places around the world to tell the stories of the species that are in real danger of extinction.
Sir Attenborough confronts viewers and presents disturbing scenes of animal suffering, such as the harsh scenes of a dehydrated and orphaned baby elephant after his adult relatives were killed in the extreme drought - screaming in tears as rescuers spray water into his mouth.
It also features scenes of a koala, whose fur and paws are seared, crawling in a burning thicket during the big fires that erupted last year in Australia, descendants of turtles that drowned in the Amazon when their nests were flooded by stormy weather, a lazy man rescued Africa.

Sir Attenborough, 94, told viewers that the planet he saw in his youth "has changed beyond recognition."
He warns that half of all species could disappear from the world in this century - the largest mass extinction in 65 million years.
The little elephant, he says, is a victim of human influence "so powerful that it threatens the future of life on Earth."
He insists that it is not too late to save the situation if we act quickly to protect nature.
He adds: "We have the ability and the knowledge to stop the damage we are causing. What we do not have - it is time."
Viewers of the series will get to see the efforts made to protect animals.
Photographs from an elephant orphanage in Kenya's Chabo National Park show guards playing with the creatures and trying to calm them down.
Angela Sheldrick, whose foundation cares for 262 young elephants, says: "They are in a deplorable condition. They have been harmed not only physically but also psychologically. They have suffered such a terrible loss ... their elephant family, their mothers. The guards give the loving care And the soft that is so important for their healing. "
Referring to the koala, biologist Dr. Niall McCann (38) says there are more fires, droughts and floods today than ever before. He adds: "These extreme conditions are making it increasingly difficult for animals to survive." Dr. McCann asks: "Do you want to be "The generation until the death of the last elephant? Do you want to be the generation that sees the last fish freckled from the sea? Or do you want to be the generation that changes everything?"

Economist and activist Jeremy Ripkin, 75, adds: "This is the worst period in 200,000 years that our species has been on this planet. We will face an avalanche of feeding environmental events that will take us into an unknown abyss that could lead to rapid mass extinction of Many of the animals are in a very short period of time. "

Sir Attenborough offers hope by showcasing initiatives to combat climate change, such as planting a billion drought-resistant trees across Africa over an area of 8,000 kilometers.
He visits the "frozen zoo" where the DNA of 10,000 endangered animals is stored for future cloning.
He adds: "My inspiration and hope for the future is in the next generation - but we all have a responsibility to reduce our carbon product, harness the forces of nature for our energy and protect the natural world. The survival of humanity and our allies on Earth depends on it."
