Frozen Worlds

Our poles are some of the earth's last remaining wildernesses. And yet just as we are beginning to understand these extraordinary places, they are changing fast.

What can you do?

The challenge

Our planet has not been without ice for millions of years. In our warming world we are losing ice at a rate which is changing life at our poles and life far beyond them. This is inspiring perhaps the greatest technological revolution ever seen as we develop solutions to stop our planet warming.

One Planet

The habitats that make up our planet are connected and reliant upon each other. The astonishing diversity of life on earth depends on these global connections.

Forests

We are uniquely reliant on trees – without them, life as we know it would not exist. We’ve exploited our forests through the ages, but if we give them the chance, they will bounce back.

Grasslands

Our planet’s grasslands are the rich home to our big land animals, but they’re also shrinking. Life in our grasslands depends on space.

Fresh Water

Without fresh water, life on land wouldn't exist. It is the most precious resource on our planet, but it's finite. Every drop is vital for all species and us humans that rely upon it.

The High Seas

The open oceans are the world’s largest ecosystems, vital to everyone, owned by no-one. Traversed by whales, sharks, turtles, tuna and albatross and home to mysterious deep-sea creatures, these are the true wilds of our planet.
