Apple TV+’s “Jane,” the Emmy Award-winning series for kids and families inspired by Dr. Jane Goodall, receives an award from the Environmental Media Association.

Apple was recognized by the 33rd Annual Environmental Media Association (EMA) Awards with wins for beloved Emmy Award-winning kids and family series “Jane” and star-studded limited series “Extrapolations.” The EMA recognizes leaders working towards a more sustainable future as well as productions setting the standard for green practices, and films, television series, and documentaries harnessing the power of environmental storytelling.

“Jane” is a mission-driven series for kids and families inspired by the work of world-renowned ethologist and conservationist, Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE, founder of the Jane Goodall Institute and a United Nations Messenger of Peace. Ava Louise Murchison stars as Jane Garcia, a nine-year-old budding environmentalist on a quest to save endangered animals. Using her powerful imagination, Jane takes her best friends David, played by Mason Blomberg, and Greybeard the chimpanzee on epic adventures to help protect wild animals all around the world because, according to her idol Dr. Jane Goodall: “Only if we understand, will we care. Only if we care, will we help. Only if we help, can they be saved.”

“Extrapolations” is a fictional drama from writer, director and executive producer Scott Z. Burns that imagines a near future where the chaotic effects of a changing climate have become embedded into the characters’ everyday lives.
