'Our planet is the only home we have, and we must think big and dream bigger if we are to protect it.'- HRH Prince William


The mission is simple: to repair our planet.


Our home is in trouble. The good news is we can fix it - but we need YOUR help. So let's put our heads together and dream up ways to BUILD, CREATE and SHOUT about solutions to repair our planet.


In the Earthshot Handbook for Future Dreamers and Thinkers, young readers will travel round the world, celebrating the diverse and rich habitats, amazing animals and wonderful landscapes that make up our planet. They'll learn about the problems and challenges facing those habitats. They will meet Earthshot innovators, entrepreneurs and game changers from the past and present from Wangari Maathai to David Attenborough. And importantly, they'll discover how they can become the changemakers of the future, helping to develop solutions to the world's biggest problems. Because even the smallest idea or Earthshot, has the power to change everything.


Full of simple practical things young people can do or make to help save the planet, even from home, as well as big ideas and contributions from people around the globe, this is the ultimate handbook for future innovators and activists who want to make a difference.

Sir David Attenborough

Sir David Attenborough is a broadcaster and naturalist whose television career is now in its seventh decade. After studying Natural Sciences at Cambridge and a brief stint in publishing, he joined the BBC in 1952 and spent ten years making documentary programmes of all kinds, including the Zoo Quest series. In 1965, he was appointed Controller of a new network, BBC2, and then, after four years became editorially responsible for both BBC1 and BBC2.

After eight years of administration, he returned to programme-making to write and present a thirteen-part series, Life on Earth, which surveyed the evolutionary history of animals and plants. This was followed by many other series which, between them, surveyed almost every aspect of life on earth.
