IUCN announces new branded series to be produced by BBC StoryWorks - IUCN

The IUCN is delighted to announce Living Legacy, a powerful new branded film series produced by BBC StoryWorks Commercial Productions.

For generations, we’ve conceived of our relationship with our planet as man versus the wild. But as environmental challenges escalate due to human activity – from climate change and deforestation to ocean degradation and biodiversity loss – our interdependence with nature is clear. Nature is an ally, a partner, and essential to the future of our living planet.

Despite this, billions of hectares of land have been degraded and biodiversity lost as humans continue to encroach on the planet’s vital resources, and every single year we lose ecosystem services worth more than 10% of our global economic output. Our societies have a lot to lose. Globally, over half of GDP is directly reliant on nature, and progress towards the SDGs will be significantly hindered by nature loss. In the year of COP30 and the IUCN’s World Conservation Congress, individuals and organisations are working towards recalibrating these systems – supporting nature from protection to prosperity.

The IUCN is delighted to announce Living Legacy, a powerful new branded film series produced by BBC StoryWorks Commercial Productions. The series will re-examine humanity’s relationship with nature, emphasising to a wide audience how we can work to sustain, protect and connect with the natural world. It will showcase nature-based and innovative solutions in varied environments, but also the drivers of positive change in critical ecosystems and industries, whether through technology and transformation, or research and changemaking champions. The series will highlight efforts of collaboration between sectors, between actors driving forward environmental and development goals, between climate and biodiversity, and between humans and nature.
