People must feel that the natural world is important and valuable and beautiful and wonderful and an amazement and a pleasure. – David Attenborough
I had a huge advantage when I started 50 years ago – my job was secure. I didnt have to promote myself. These days theres far more pressure to make a mark, so the temptation is to make adventure television or personality shows. I hope the more didactic approach wont be lost. – David Attenborough
Its coming home to roost over the next 50 years or so. Its not just climate change its sheer space, places to grow food for this enormous horde. Either we limit our population growth or the natural world will do it for us, and the natural world is doing it for us right now. – David Attenborough
It seems to me that the natural world is the greatest source of excitement the greatest source of visual beauty the greatest source of intellectual interest. It is the greatest source of so much in life that makes life worth living. – David Attenborough
