5 notable environmental documentaries to watch on Netflix

Netflix has a variety of climate change, deforestation, and documentaries based on the environment.

Here is a list of documentaries based on Mother Earth:

Our Planet

Our Planet is a necessary watch for a nature series done right! Content collapsed. This nature docuseries was very good. David Attenborough and the entire crew did a spectacular job on this docuseries.

Our Planet is a remarkable story that explores the natural wonders of the world through the lens of how climate change is potentially threatening its existence. The eight-episode series is narrated by David Attenborough and is the  product of a four-year collaboration of massive scope between Netflix, Silverback Films and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). Each episode of Our Planet showcases animals in their home regions and explains the human impact on the living world — and once you finish watching, you can continue the story by queuing up Our Planet II.

Our Universe

This six-part series from BBC Studios (and narrated by Morgan Freeman) blends wildlife footage with cosmic special effects to tell the story of how everything in the natural world is connected. Hit play to get up close and personal with an Alaskan brown bear and her cubs; a cheetah sprinting across the Serengeti; and penguins in the waters of the Southern Ocean. Interspersed with these stories is an even bigger tale, one that explores the celestial forces that set the stage for our entire solar system.

Our Living World

Life on Earth is full of mystery, beauty, and wonder, and this series gets to the bottom of it all. From the deepest oceans to the hottest deserts and the animals that inhabit them the kooky capybaras, the savvy wolverine, and the busiest beavers — we’re all part of a complex network of creatures and ecosystems. In Our Living World, filmmakers, wildlife photographers, and researchers travel to dozens of countries as they tell the story of a planet on the precipice of a climate crisis, and what it will take to restore its balance. The four-part documentary  is narrated by Academy Award–winning actor (and beekeeper!) Cate Blanchett.

Night on Earth

Night on Earth is probably the first documentary where nights are properly documented without the unnatural lights.

Breaking Boundaries: The Science Of Our Planet

It is definitely worth of your 1 hour 13 minutes time to watch this science-based documentary about how humanity has the dominant role,

Like Our Planet and A Life on Our Planet, this David Attenborough-presented documentary focuses on Earth through the lens of humanity’s environmental impact. The boundaries in the title refer to a planetary status quo, addressing climate change and ozone depletion, that has kept the natural world stable for over 10,000 years. Yes, as the title suggests, we’ve already pushed past many of those boundaries. However, the documentary emphasizes that there is a path back toward safety.
