This 37-second radio trail targets adults and nature fans, with a mellow and formal tone provided by David Attenborough's voiceover and quotes from his documentaries. Background music and ambient natural sounds are used beneath the voiceover, along with occasional animal sound effects. The single track maintains consistent sound levels between the voiceover, archival footage of Attenborough, and background music.
