COLIN BUTFIELD

OCEAN: EARTH’S LAST WILDERNESS

FREEDOM CENTRE / WEDNESDAY 24 SEPTEMBER / 18.00-19.00

£9

The ocean is the part of our world that can recover the fastest, and in our lifetime, we could see a fully restored marine world, even richer and more spectacular than we could possibly hope, if we act now. 

Colin Butfield, long-time collaborator with Sir David Attenborough, will present an illustrated talk on their special project Ocean (published to coincide with Attenborough’s 99th birthday) with excerpts from the film and voiceover from Sir David, followed by an audience Q&A. Butfield is co-founder of Studio Silverback, Executive Producer of WWF’s Our Planet project, and an advisor for the Earthshot Prize.

This event will be speech-to-text facilitated – sponsored by Ogier
