Consistently stunning documentaries transport viewers to far-flung locations ranging from the torrid African plains to the chilly splendors of icy Antarctica in the 43rd season of this critically acclaimed PBS docuseries.
The show's primary focus is on animals and ecosystems around the world. NATURE brings the beauty and wonder of the natural world into your home, becoming in the process the benchmark for natural history programs.
Over forty years of capturing nature, it is the premier voice for the natural world, an essential lens on the creatures, great and small, that sustain us all on our living planet.
Season 43 of NATURE saw its debut on October 23, 2024, at 8|7c on PBS and YouTube with the premiere episode titled, “Silverback”. The episode follows filmmaker Vianet Djenguet as he comes face to face with a 500-pound gorilla in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Djenguet documents a grueling but vital mission to habituate a notoriously protective 500-pound silverback, in a last-ditch effort to save the critically endangered Eastern lowland gorillas from extinction.
The unfiltered joy and passion that wildlife cinematographer Vianet Djenguet displays when viewing and experiencing the wild is truly remarkable. The ability to engage, stay safe, and educate the audience on what is taking place with these wild animals and in nature is nothing short of award worthy.
