National Geographic Launches 'Earth's Wild Home' Series Spotlighting Africa's Biodiversity

National Geographic has unveiled a new seven‑episode documentary series, Earth’s Wild Home, that takes viewers through Africa’s diverse ecosystems—from jungle to desert, plains, mountains and islands. Over four years, crews filmed in nearly 30 countries, showcasing rare animal behaviors such as chimpanzees fishing for algae, a black panther hunting, a pangolin learning to climb, and a green turtle rescued after laying eggs on a remote island. Each episode ends by highlighting the scientists, photographers and NatGeo explorers who made the project possible, with the final episode focusing on local conservation leaders. The series is narrated by Wunmi Mosaku, whose background in Nigeria and England brings a personal connection to the continent’s rich and varied life.
