WELLFLEET Cape Cod’s annual cold-stunned sea turtle phenomenon and the coordinated network of people and organizations that responds are featured in a new television nature series for BBC and Discovery premiering in the U.S. and around the world this month.
“A Perfect Planet,” a five-part series hosted by Sir David Attenborough, demonstrates that while the interaction of Earth’s natural forces sunlight, volcanoes, oceans supports an abundance of life, human activity threatens to upend that delicate balance.
The sea turtle rescue program is featured in the final episode of the series, “Humans,” which also examines efforts being made to address climate change and other human-induced environmental threats.
