April 22, 2024, New Delhi: In less than 50 years, Earth has lost 69% of the average wildlife population. Wildlife play a significant role in the stability of the environment, ecosystem, and our lives. The quality of our existence is determined by how well we take care of them and our planet. National Geographic in India, with a mission to ignite hope and change among viewers and the wider public, celebrates Earth Day with the third season of its Earth Day initiative, ‘One for Change’. The brand initiative advocates for positive environmental impact through small individual actions, highlighting how just one small act by everyone can have an enormous impact.

The films hope to encourage viewers to bring about a change in their daily lives, by shedding light on wildlife species’ struggles against deforestation, climate change, plastic pollution, water scarcity and air pollution.
