Sources

What connects my sources?

Environmental science and the hope of educating viewers or students about the current fragile state of the planet, animals, and ecosystems.

Blue planet focused on marine life and the animals that live and depend on it. It ended with an explanation of the current danger that our oceans are in.

The Planet Earth documentary focused its attention to every aspect of our planet save water, and hoped to showcase the planet and nonhuman animals in a way we have never seen before. It too ended with commentary about the current state of different natural habitats and endangered animals.

Controlling Idea- Environmental science education is important to understanding the plight of all inhabitants of the planet.
