A FAB FIRST

I am a zoology graduate from the University
of Bristol and am currently studying for an
MSc in science communication at UWE.
Congrats on a fabulous first issue of
BBC Earth - it’s so awesome! I love the
photography, layout, feature ideas and
conversational style.
It’s so engaging and more approachable
than Nat Geo in many ways. It speaks to a
wider audience, which is so important.
I really like the focus on wildlife filmmaking

• with Planet Earth II such an undeniable
  hit, the desire to make it into this industry
  is greater than ever and you have provided
  some practical and actually useful advice.
  I particularly enjoyed the feature on
  bringing back the woolly mammoth - I’m
  writing an essay discussing the
  controversies surrounding ‘de-extinction’
  for some coursework.
  I also enjoyed the feature on VR as I’m
  involved in a group project producing a
  15-minute science radio show at the BBC in
  Bristol and we are discussing VR quite
  heavily within it.
  Thanks for producing such a refreshing
  and great magazine! A subscription is on the
  Christmas list!

TOP OF THE RANGE

Congratulations on BBC Earth – what an

excellent magazine! It’s refreshing to read

such a diverse range of features at a time

when content is becoming so specialised.

JOLLY MIXTURE

May I congratulate you all on the production

of a really good magazine. A really

nice mixture of topics: nature, science,

geography... Absolutely brilliant.

KEEN LEARNER

I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the

first issue of BBC Earth.

I particularly love all the wildlife stuff and

the photographs, but the magazine is packed

with so much information. It’s good to learn

new things.

The polar bear piece was amazing. Keep

up the good work.

FRIENDLY ADVICE

I already religiously read BBC Wildlife

magazine so I bought BBC Earth when a

friend told me the issue was coming out and

I’m extremely grateful he did. I absolutely

love BBC Earth magazine and I will be buying

every issue along with BBC Wildlife.

LONDON CALLING

You’ve said that Planet Earth II is a love letter

to the planet and I think this brings more to

that story. Fantastic work on the first issue, I

am buzzing to get the next magazine.

I have always been drawn to the work of

author Jack London and felt that all of us

humans hear the same Call of the Wild as

Buck in that book. We don’t always feed our

connection and relationship with nature.

Daniel Fagan

Our launch issue feature

on resurrecting the

mammoth and other

extinct species was a

reader favourite
