David Attenborough's emotional new trailer reflects on 99 years on earthAltitude

Transcript

00:00After living for nearly a hundred years on this planet, I now understand the most

00:06important place on earth is not on land, but at sea.

00:12Through the course of my life we have been on a voyage of ocean discovery.

00:18Only now are we understanding what it means for the future of our world.

00:25What we have found could change everything.

00:29For once you've truly seen the sea, you'll never look at earth in the same way again.

00:37The ocean is our planet's life support system

00:41and our greatest ally against climate catastrophe.

00:45Yet it's at a crossroads.

00:49We are draining the life from our ocean.

00:55Today, it is in such poor health, I would find it hard not to lose hope.

01:01Were it not for the most remarkable discovery of all.

01:07The ocean can recover faster than we had ever imagined.

01:12It can bounce back to life.

01:17Put simply, we've been given a lifeline.

01:21It may not just recover,

01:25but thrive beyond anything anyone alive has ever seen.

01:31This is the story of our ocean.

01:37And how we must write its next chapter together.

01:45For if we save the sea,

01:47we save our world.

01:49After a lifetime of filming our planet,

01:52I'm sure that nothing is more important.
