Her expertise lies in engaging storytelling, capturing spectacular wild behaviour and creating an emotional connection between audience and subject, whether it’s an orphan orangutan or a giant hornet queen. She now focuses on environmental messaging, adding her voice to the choir that’s singing for the future health of our planet! <h1>Peter Lown</h1>Producer/DirectorPeter Lown is the producer/director of The Age of Nature’s opening episode Awakenings.

Peter’s episode in The Age of Nature captures his desire to change the narrative between humans and nature; to reimagine how we relate to our planet, it’s creatures and one another. His extensive field craft and storytelling skills were instrumental in shaping the unique style and voice of the series.<h1>Amy Young</h1>Producer/DirectorAmy Young is a producer/director of The Age of Nature’s second episode Understanding, together with Laura Flegg.
