BBC Earth, the brand under which the corporation sells documentaries such as Planet Earth and Frozen Planet abroad, will get its own monthly magazine from next month.
The publication is a result of a partnership between BBC Worldwide, the broadcaster’s commercial arm, and content innovation agency The River Group.
It will be available to buy in the UK and in “multiple overseas territories” with the first issue out on 3 November, said a spokesperson.
Content is currently produced for the BBC Earth website, covering science and nature.
