The British embassy hosted an exclusive screening of clips followed by a talk with Sir David Attenborough, Britain's best-known natural history filmmaker, in Beijing last week.
During his time in China, Attenborough is traveling with his producer, Anthony Geffen, to Yunnan and Liaoning provinces to make a new series about the evolution of vertebrates for the BBC.
Throughout his career, Attenborough has championed breakthroughs in innovation and technology, pushing new boundaries in filming the natural world and illustrating, among other things, global climate change.
British Ambassador to China Sebastian Wood, who hosted the event, said he hoped Attenborough's new series about China "will excite and engage audiences around the globe".
