US EditionBook Review: David Attenborough takes readers to ‘Earth’s Last Wilderness’ in ‘Ocean’
- British biologist Sir David Attenborough published his latest book, Ocean: Earth's Ocean, in May 2025 alongside a National Geographic film available on Disney streaming services.
- The project responded to urgent ocean health issues caused by global warming and damaging fishing practices such as bottom trawling, highlighting the need for marine protection.
- The book and film explore ocean ecosystems, featuring case studies like Cabo Pulmo's recovery after becoming a no-fishing zone and extensive footage filmed in the last two years.
- Forrest calls for legally protected marine reserves where fishing and resource extraction are banned, aiming to safeguard at least 30% of the oceans by 2030, emphasizing that true conservation cannot be achieved if damaging activities continue within these zones.
- The film aims to raise global awareness among policymakers and the public, supporting urgent action to protect ocean wilderness despite remaining hope for recovery if responsibility is taken.
