To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, National Geographic's new film premiering on the 22 April on the Nat Geo, showcases Nat geo explorers and ABC News reporters as they travel to different continents and habitats to observe the next generation of animals in their natural habitat as they mature to continue the planets biodiversity. BORN WILD: THE NEXT GENERATION is narrated in part and hosted by "Good Morning America" co-anchor Robin Roberts The film is a story of nurture and care but also some of the challenges these animals must live through but also their incredible resilience and ability to learn. This film will take viewers on a journey to spectacular natural habitats in places as Kenya in East Africa and Australia, Hawaii, Sri Lanka and more to witness and celebrate the diversity and splendor of the planet's future in biodiversity. The impact of changing climate and natural disasters like wildfires can have a profound impact on the survival of some of these incredible but close to extinct species, there is therefore a need for human conservationist effort to help keep those habitats alive. The picture of positivity and hope and care and nurture is an aspect of nature than is often ignored but can serve to inspire us to care for endangered habitats. From the lions and elephants on the plains of Africa that have to navigate problems of poaching as young animals are left to fend for themselves and learn to survive without a parent, to the Primates of Sri Lanka dealing with human encroachment and habitat loss, we see all the many ways we might be able to stop and reverse the negative trends. Mothers are important factors for the survival of a species and must make a lot of sacrifices to ensure their cub or babies are ready for life without them. Nat Geographic's Born Wild: The Next Generation is a celebration of the extraordinary fragility and diversity of life on earth a celebration of how nature nurtures itself and why must do more to protect it. The film features celebrity guest and actor Chris Hemsworth who helped look after a Koala while learning about their survival and upkeep in person, demonstrating how anyone of us can be a positive part of the amazing story of life on earth. In other for our planets biodiversity to remain vibrant and sustainable we must all work to take care of the planet as it has nurtured us too.
