It is incredible how nature documentaries have helped climate research in recent years. They have done an excellent job of bringing attention to the natural world and the effects of climate change on the environment, wildlife, and ecosystems. I have found these documentaries to be incredibly captivating, with their majestic visuals and compelling narratives that engage all kinds of audiences.

Moreover, there are specific documentaries that focus solely on nature and climate change, which have been critical in sharing scientific facts and statistics with the public. By providing a platform for climate scientists and environmental activists to share their research and perspectives with a wider audience, these documentaries have helped shape public opinion and policy on climate change

“These films have attempted to raise public awareness of these complex, interrelated ecological problems. But they have also suggested some ways forward, through strategies for technological innovation in transportation and energy production, urban farming, sustainable building, and committed activist movements” (Duvall, 2017 p.319)

It is clear that nature documentaries have played a crucial role in inspiring and raising awareness for audiences to take notice and demand change. As we continue to face the challenges of a changing climate, these documentaries will remain an essential tool for us to understand, address, and mitigate the impacts of this global crisis.
