FILM DESCRIPTION: English broadcaster and historian, Sir David Attenborough, has encountered some of the world's most extraordinary animals and plants. But many of these wonders may now be destined to disappear from our planet forever. With 1 million species at risk of extinction, the huge variety of life on earth, known as biodiversity, is being lost at a rate never seen before in human history. This is a crisis not just for the natural world but for every one of us. This mass extinction threatens our food and water security, undermines our ability to control our climate and even puts us at greater risk for more pandemics.
The feature film will be preceded by the 3-minute film Pangolin Protection by Piper Sobel and the 2-minute film Bats & White Nose Syndrome by Henry Sobel, both Honorable Mentions and Official Selections from the One Earth Young Filmmakers Contest.
