The nature presenter returns to TV screens to explore the natural history of Britain and Ireland.
The TV presenter and naturalist is well known for his celebrated wildlife series such as Blue Planet, credited with inspiring action on problems like plastic pollution.
The show's producers said Sir David had agreed to narrate Wild Isles from the start and was later approached about presenting it, because of his rare perspective on how the British countryside has changed during his lifetime of almost a century. "It was very important to us to say, this [nature] is really precious, but at the same time it's fragile."Camera crews went out for months to film rarely-seen animal behaviour working with the latest technology such as drones and slow-motion cameras.
The series also explores little-known episodes of natural history beneath our feet, such as what goes on inside a woodland plant being pollinated by flies. The series is released shortly after nearly 200 countries pledged to protect 30% of lands and seas for nature by 2030 at the UN nature summit in Montreal."I think it can make a lot of difference in terms of shifting the conversation and the narrative," Dr Wheeler told BBC News.
