MENGENAI EPISOD INI
Throughout Season 5 of Planet Visionaries, a landmark podcast series in partnership with the Rolex Perpetual Planet Initiative, host Alex Honnold has spoken with extraordinary people leading innovation in conservation, science and technology. In this episode, he revisits the most powerful moments—from Miranda Wang who transforms previously unrecyclable plastics into high-value materials to Kris Tompkins who is restoring vast South America ecosystems. These stories bridge the gap between scientific innovation and the human spirit, proving that protecting our planet is entirely possible when passion meets action.
Whether you’re discovering the series for the first time or have been with us all season, this episode captures the spirit of Planet Visionaries: that protecting our planet is entirely possible.
For nearly a century, Rolex has supported pioneering explorers. Over time, the company has moved from championing exploration for the sake of discovery to protecting the planet. Through the Perpetual Planet Initiative, Rolex stands alongside the inspiring people who are dedicated to building a better future for all life on Earth.
