Rosatom and National Geographic announced at the Palace of Neptune in Madrid (Spain) the launch of a new documentary series, Wild Edens, filmed in the world's most stunning untouched places and their inhabitants - wildlife and fauna alike, endangered by the effects of climate change.

Wild Edens is a unique project initiated by Rosatom State Atomic Energy Corporation, the world's leading producer of safe and clean energy, and focused on climate change and the threat it poses to the global ecosystem. The project includes filming and broadcasting by National Geographic of a series of documentaries describing the unique ecosystems that may disappear due to global warming, if mankind fails to curtail its carbon footprint and use clean energy. Climate change may lead to the total disappearance of a number of species.

The documentary was filmed in a number of rugged and remote locations, including the Altai Mountains, the Kamchatka Peninsula, and the Arctic. The premiere of the first film - Wild Edens: Russia - will take place at the X International Forum ATOMEXPO 2018, which will be held on May 14-16 in Sochi (Russia).
