Individual Analysis or Reaction paper:
1. Your favorite wildlife moments or scenes from the documentary.
The scene of the flamingos was in a place together and they were having eggs and
they hatched but when their habitat dried up they traveled to find water and they were
guiding their children but there was one chick that was separated from them. But the
other chicks that were not separated found fresh water.
2. What you learned about the interconnectedness of ecosystems and the

importance of conservation efforts?
The importance of conservation efforts in maintaining ecological balance and
conserving biodiversity is emphasized through an analysis of ecosystems and
conservation activities. With each organism essential to the overall health of the system,
ecosystems are complex webs of dependency. The overall health of an ecosystem and the
health of other species can be affected by disturbances in one area. Because of their
ability to survive shocks such as disease outbreaks, climate change, and habitat loss,
diverse ecosystems are important for ecosystem resilience. Ecosystems around the world
are seriously threatened by human activities such as deforestation, pollution, overfishing,
and climate change. Protecting endangered species, maintaining ecosystem services, and
enhancing human well-being are just a few of the many benefits that come from
conservation initiatives. In the whole world.
3. Personal reflections on the significance of nature exploration and wildlife

observation.
Exploring nature and observing wildlife are transformative experiences that promote
mental health by reducing stress, anxiety, and depression, and providing relaxation and
reflection. They also promote environmental awareness and education, encouraging
individuals to understand the importance of conservation efforts in protecting biodiversity
and natural habitats. Witnessing wildlife in its natural habitat inspires a desire to protect
the environment, contributing to citizen science initiatives and advocacy efforts.

For me, the most intriguing behaviors or adaptations I observed are how dolphins
work together to drive mackerel towards the surface, where birds like Shearwaters join
the hunt. Shearwaters, usually aerial hunters, dive underwater to catch fish from the
mackerel shoal. Dolphins attack the underside of the mackerel shoal while birds target the
top. Both dolphins and birds feast on the mackerel for about 20 minutes before being
satiated.
3. Did the documentary highlight any conservation issues or threats to wildlife and
their habitats?
David Attenborough highlighted the issues about the loss of habitats for some
species especially the Arctic and Antarctica. Where the ice lands melt faster than two
decades ago. This is because of global warming. Polar bear's survival rates decreases
every year because their hunting and breeding seasons are limited.
The documentary inspire and cause impact on my perception of nature and wildlife
conservation. It inspires me to conserve and preserve mother nature. My insights about
wildlife conservation, is the resources given by the nature are gradually decreasing. It is
limited and not enough for all of us now that we are in the fast moving world. I am
worried about the future generation’s life. We always says that we should start to
preserve and conserve our resources. However, we don't exactly do as we say. And
because of our decision, we are now struggling to survive in this planet.

My favorite wildlife moments or scenes from the documentary is about how David
Attenborough explain the melting of polar regions, the Arctic and Antarctica at a
frightening pace in the past 70 years. The icy region which is the home of polar bears is
now disappearing. The sea ice breaks up every year which affect the hunting season of
polar bears. Cubs are growing underweight and affects their survival rate. This species is
nearly extinct. And this is because of Global Warming.

The ecosystem and all life on earth are connected to one another. There is a scene in
Episode 1 that topics or explains how land and water (the sea) helps one another. The
nearby desert provides raw materials or nutrients to the sea. Every year, winds sweep up
2 Billion tons of dust into the sky. And some of those dust falls on the sea providing
nutrients for microscopic organisms. Those organisms will be food for the living
creatures on the sea. On the other hand, the sea waters will evaporate and condenses to
form a cloud. And when it gets heavier, it will eventually release the fresh water as rain.
This rain also provides nutrients that will help living things in the land.
The importance of conservation and preservation is crucial as we are now
experiencing Global Warming. And it will not only affects us but also all species and life
on earth. If we don’t conserve now, all resources that comes from our nature will be
limited and our survival rate will depleted. Meaning all life on earth will be extinct and us
too.
observation.
From what I have watched, the nature struggles a lot because of gradually failing
earth. Adaptations of humans and animals in harsh environments is not questionable
anymore. I mean we made the world this way. And we are now facing consequences
because of “our way”.
Flamingos in salt pans adapt to extreme conditions for breeding and chicks must trek
long distances for water in harsh environments. Caribou migrate to boreal forests to
survive harsh winters. Wolves hunt caribou in the forest during winter. This is the
challenges faced by caribou due to changing environments. Polar bears face challenges
due to melting sea ice which affects polar bear hunting and survival. These are just some
of the animals that struggles to live and adapt because their habitats are now gone.

The golden manakin starts by clearning his dance floor. A female arrives and he
starts his routine rocketing from one perch to another he performs his signature move the
back flip with twist..the blue manakin the lead male is supported by three junior dancer
they practice together almost every day they're ready to present their dance to a female
after they dance the female bird decides if enough is enough.
3. Did the documentary highlight any conservation issues or threats to wildlife and
their habitats?
Yes, "Our Planet" does highlight various conservation issues and threats to wildlife
and their habitats. Throughout the series, there are segments that address environmental
challenges such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, overfishing, and the illegal
wildlife trade. These issues are presented in a way that educates viewers about the
impacts of human activities on the natural world and the urgent need for conservation
efforts.
The documentaries often highlight conservation issues facing our planet, such as
habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and poaching. By raising awareness about these
challenges and their effects on wildlife and ecosystems, documentaries can motivate
viewers to take action to protect and preserve the environment.
Ultimately, documentaries like "Our Planet" play an important role in educating and
inspiring people to become advocates for the preservation of nature and wildlife,
promoting greater responsibility towards the planet and the residents here.
