See the world. Then make it better.
‘I am 93. I’ve had an extraordinary life. It’s only now that I appreciate how extraordinary.
As a young man, I felt I was out there in the wild, experiencing the untouched natural world – but it was an illusion. The tragedy of our time has been happening all around us, barely noticeable from day to day – the loss of our planet’s wild places, its biodiversity.
I have been witness to this decline. A Life on Our Planet is my witness statement, and my vision for the future. It is the story of how we came to make this, our greatest mistake – and how, if we act now, we can yet put it right.
We have one final chance to create the perfect home for ourselves and restore the wonderful world we inherited.’
All we need is the will do so.
Hedley’s Books –
Attenborough’s first book in nearly two decades is such an important read. No matter what your view is on how we change, there’s little doubt we must change. This book, and the accompanying Netflix documentary, balances the reality with enough hope to inspire real action. All hail King David.
