Do you love nature documentaries? Ever wondered whether they actually help save the planet, or are they just pure entertainment? With audiences in the millions, programs about nature are more popular than ever, and interest in them is growing. But as a virtual experience, what sort of conservation and other impacts can they expect to have?

Come and find out at our live debate featuring the people who make the programmes we love and the researchers looking into their effects.
