For nature, David Attenborough is required viewing. Pick a topic (birds! Insects! The ocean! Africa!) and go nuts. The entire Life series, actually, is amazing. There's also some more 'general' series - my favourites are The Trials Of Life (literally the first TV show I ever remember watching, I was three) and Planet Earth.

I've watched the entirety of Trials of Life, Life in the Freezer, almost all of Life in Cold Blood, The Blue Planet, Planet Earth, Frozen Planet, and Africa, and bits and pieces of... most of the others. HIGHLY recommended.

Don't watch the American versions where they dub over his voice. That should be an offense punishable only by a 2x4 to the crotch.

Also, it's more science and astronomy than environment and nature, but Cosmos: A Personal Voyage is just... well, literally life-changing, it's what inspired me to go back to school to go to uni. If you're American, it's available on Hulu, I believe. Some parts are a little dated (it's from 1980!), but others are so amazingly relevant and other bits are so wonderfully timeless that you HAVE to see it, oh my god. The book is also amazing, but I actually like the series better, dated graphics aside. (Poor episode ten!) Sagan has one of those voices like Attenborough - it just commands your attention. Plus, some of the music is gorgeous - a lot of classical (there's a part in episode thirteen using Shostakovich that actually makes me nearly cry), plus some beautiful stuff from Vangelis, including the opening theme.

Thank you! I do love Planet Earth, so I will probably like similar ones.
