The Year Earth Changed

Photo 1 The_Year_Earth_Changed_Photo_0106

Synopsis:

Across the planet nature responded to the unwitting experiment of a global lockdown. From hearing birdsong in deserted cities to breathing cleaner air, we’ve had a chance to engage with nature like never before. As humans hit pause on their busy lives - staying safe home and treading more lightly on the planet – Mother Nature responded like never before. Recovering. Exploring. Thriving. Across the world, scientists are learning that small changes in human behaviour can have far reaching positive effects for wildlife.
