Watching Our Planet was an excellent de-stressor from the workload of that particular week. The content was mostly animals and rainforest, which was a nice complement to the homework I’d been balancing. The movie was built up of calming tones, with gentle background music and easy narration.

It did spark some comments at the end about the importance of environmental preservation. It’s hard to watch the content of the rainforest go by without sparing a thought to what threatens it. The work I’d had that day was regarding pollinator preservation techniques, which have to get strategic to compensate for the influx of environmental dangers that are brought about by nearly every major industry on Earth. Deforestation is a key component of environmental protections, because of the communities and wildlife that rely on it the forest support. So while the content of Our Planet worked well to mitigate stress, it did help remind me that it’s important to work toward forest protections however possible.
