Prompted by a post from @krishnanrohit: "I'm once again registering my annoyance at the fact that EVERY SINGLE NATURE DOCUMENTARY talks about how humans suck. Literally every single one. I am so tired of explaining to my 7yo son that no humans are not destroying everything. That he can be optimistic. It's obscene."

planet earth III's second-to-last episode ("human") is focused solely on humans and our relationship with nature (good and bad), while the final episode ("heroes") is specifically about conservation. more is sprinkled throughout, such as the wuthathi people protecting raine Island in "coasts," so i recommend watching the whole series.

the green planet is by the same team and is just like planet earth III, except it's about plants instead.

The "Human" episode in Planet Earth III is actually incredble - it shows indigenous communities living alongside wildlife in ways that benifit both, like the Bayaka people who have a mutualistic relationship with honeyguide birds when gathering honey!
