So You Wanna Save the Planet? will see naturalist and author Paul Rosolie take a group of intrepid initiates into nature on a variety of rescue missions for the planet. Participants will come face-to-face with affected landscapes, communities and ecosystems. Each episode will see them connect with a specific cause, ranging from a girl saving orphaned baby elephants in India to a community on the brink in a burned-out portion of the Amazon and a team of ex-U.S. Army Rangers working to protect rhinos from poachers in Africa.
Ted Field, Michael Napoliello, and Anthony Tringali will produce for Radar, and the series is being shopped to networks.
“We’re developing this show to give audiences a sense of the tremendous challenges conservationists face in a changing environment through the eyes of people Paul will take way out of their comfort zones,” said Field, who has more than 60 producing credits including the Jumanji franchise, the Riddick franchise, The Amityville Horror and The Last Samurai.
