The world is in a “mass extinction phase” and the Covid crisis “released the foot from the accelerator” but for the wrong reasons, according to a leading scientist who is the subject of a new Netflix documentary about the environment.

Narrated by Sir David Attenborough, the film Breaking Boundaries: The Science of Our Planet follows world-renowned scientist Professor Johan Rockstrom and the discovery that humanity is pushing earth beyond the boundaries that keep the planet stable.
