For a Living Planet is a book on the history of WWF and its successes. Starting from its convening in a small town in Switzerland in April 1961 to its 50th anniversary in 2011.
Based on previously inaccessible archives and a wide range of interviews with WWF VIPs, this book tells the remarkable story of how the idea of a few British naturalists turned into the world's largest environmental organisation.
Narrated by Sir David Attenborough and from the award-winning team behind Planet Earth & Blue Planet comes the ultimate portrait of the earth's Polar regions. The Arctic and Antarctic remain the greatest wildernesses on Earth.
