“An understanding of the natural world is a source of not only great curiosity, but great fulfillment.” David Attenborough

Oceans shape the land, regulate climate and create the air. With amazing visuals, Colin Butfield, David Attenborough’s long-term collaborator, shares the story behind Ocean: How to Save Earth’s Last Wilderness.

From the icy oceans of the poles to remote coral islands, David Attenborough and Colin Butfield have explored the story of every ocean habitat on earth. Ocean dives into eight unique salt-water habitats, swims through kelp forests, mangroves and coral reefs and down almost 11,000 metres to the deepest corners of the most unexplored ecosystem on our planet. This book has never been more urgently needed; taking action now could see a fully restored, rich and spectacular marine world.

Colin Butfield is co-founder and executive director of Studio Silverback, and co-founder of Open Planet. He is an advisor to The Earthshot Prize and author of Earthshot: How to Save Our Planet.
