One mind-blowing Monday in New York! 🏆🏆
I'm overjoyed that Ocean with David Attenborough had a double win at the highly prestigious Critics' Choice Awards this week. Hell of a night 🤩🤩
The film was awarded -
Best Nature & Science Documentary
&
Best Cinematography
To the many, many brilliant people who pulled together to make this thing, thank you, and the most massive congratulations.
To celebrate Sir David Attenborough’s 100th birthday, @cooksonadventures is launching an exclusive series of private experiences with @tobynotown – the director of Sir David’s seminal ‘Ocean’ documentary.
From tracking pygmy hippos in Sierra Leone to studying sperm whales in Mauritius, guests will go behind the scenes of these cutting-edge shoots, learning first hand about the documentary process and the research into these rare, isolated species.
This is your chance to not only experience something usually only open to a small circle of insiders, but to help support documentary projects that genuinely make a difference.
Your guest experience is all made possible by Cookson Aventures’ decades of work supporting productions and expertise in operating in remote environments.
This is just the teaser – get in touch or stay tuned for more details.
Ocean with David Attenborough was created to reach and inspire audiences worldwide with a powerful story of the ocean as never seen before. Launched ahead of the 2025 UN Ocean Conference, midway through the UN Ocean Decade, the hope was that the film could play a role in helping turn the tide in favour of ocean restoration. Arksen and 10% for the Ocean are proud to have co-produced and helped finance this film and this report reveals the real-world impact of the film in the months following its release. Through powerful storytelling, the film continues to support a growing movement for ocean recovery, amplifying the critical work of scientists, campaigners and organisations around the world.

Today we highlight two world class storytellers whose work has brought the ocean to millions: Toby Nowlan and Toby Strong.
As part of the Ocean with David Attenborough team, producer Toby Nowlan and cinematographer Toby Strong helped shape one of the most impactful ocean films of our time, recognised globally for its storytelling and visual excellence. However, they do more than document the ocean - they help defend it.
Their work captures both the beauty of marine life and the urgency of protecting fragile ecosystems. At a time when the ocean receives less than 1% of global philanthropic funding, their stories are a call to fund, protect and restore.
We are humbled and proud to have both as ambassadors of 10% for the ocean
An almighty adventure draws to an end - a mission to find and film the last of the Gobi bear - the world's rarest bear - only 30 animals are left on Earth. Their final home is the Gobi desert - one of the planet's last great wildernesses with a very uncertain future.
We've worked with some of the most amazing humans I've ever met.
It's been emotional!
Now to make the film and plan the next chapter of #LastoftheWild
