About the Series

Earth Matters is a series produced by Riverbank Studios for Doordarshan, India’s National Television Network.

The series takes a hard look at the environment in the country. Pollution in urban area, pressures on rural India, the stress on natural resources, the impact of unthinking human development on India’s wildlife and forests.

Earth Matters does this not by blaming the government or any one faction for India’s environmental troubles rather the programme’s philosophy is based on alerting the individual, examining his/her part in the concerned issue and in forming part of the solution.

The series is anchored by wildlife filmmaker Mike Pandey and his colleague Shibani Chaudhury.

Broadcast in both English and Hindi, it is extremely relevant to millions of viewers in India and other countries in the region. The series has received an overwhelming response from remote villages in far flung corners of India as well as from viewers as far off as Saudi Arabia and North Africa.
