“Our Great National Parks” takes viewers to national parks around the world, from the Chilean Patagonia to Kenya's Tsavo East National Park — to the soothing narration of former President Obama.
” takes viewers to national parks around the world, from the Chilean Patagonia to Kenya's Tsavo East National Park — to the soothing narration of one of the show’s executive producers, former President Barack Obama.
“We knew President Obama had protected more public lands and waters and any other U.S. president in history,” Honeyborne says. “So it just seemed a very natural fit for us to work together in celebrating wilderness and wildlife by framing a series around national parks.” Obama has called national parks “America’s best idea” — one that spread to countries around the world. Today, 15% of land and 8% of the world’s oceans are protected. For producer Sophie Todd, that’s a significant achievement.One episode of the series tells the story of sloths that live in the Manuel Antonio National Park in Costa Rica. Algae grow on the sloth’s fur, along with 80 different microspecies.
Sophie Todd: “We have a whole range of new technology that's at our fingertips, everything from the latest drones which allow us to be up in the air for longer and capture images. … We wouldn't be able to physically walk there. But now, [drones allow] us to see the hippos taking to the surf and moving, using the currents to travel down the beach. And we also filmed some hippos in Tsavo using new underwater cameras.
