Our amazing planet; Let Sir David take you on global safari.

Byline: AMANDA KILLELEA

ALL creatures great and small will star in a new series exploring the wonders of our world.

Our Planet, narrated by Sir David Attenborough, took four years to make and was filmed in 50 countries by 600 crew members.

The series explores key habitats, from Arctic wilderness and South American jungle to the depth of the oceans, looking at the animals who rely on them to survive.

The Netflix series, by the creator of Planet Earth, reveals why the natural world matters to us all and what steps must be taken to preserve it.

The first episode, on April 5, travels from Brazil's rainforest to Norway's Svalbard archipelago, seeing how each fragile habitat is connected.

Sir David says: "All across our planet, crucial connections are being disrupted. "What we do in the next 20 years will determine the future for all life on Earth."
