David Attenborough | A Life On Our Planet | Audio Book

An Audiobook of Sir David's Life Story, his witness statement and vision of the future on how the world has changed and if acted now we can yet put things right.

"I am 94. 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 contains my witness statement and my vision for the future - 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 the opportunity to create the perfect home for ourselves and restore the wonderful world we inherited."

"All we need is the will to do so."

Earth has 9 Planterary boundaries, the more we cross the harder to return, so staying in the safe zones ensures the survival of us and all life on earth.

I feel privileged to have heard Sir David Attenborough over the years of my younger self. I am now entering senior status, 79, I am thrilled that he is still alive and that I can hear him while he is still alive. Thank you for your wisdom, for sharing your knowledge in a distinctive and unique way. There is no one at present to replace you.

Sir David Attenborough is my hero in so many ways. His love of Mother Earth and his contributions on saving her have motivated me over my years to do my part. Not to mention the memories I have watching every documentary or talk he has ever done over the decades with my Mother who is now 90 years old. To this day, we still sit together to marvel at this magnificent man and his beautiful voice to get transported and educated about our wonderful world who is suffering now. Thank you kind Sir, we love you so much!

This man is very special. He is very fit and has a sharp mind. I hope he lives for many, many more years. Bless you David! X

I don't give weight to titles like: Sire, Queens, Lords, Cardinals, Kings, Bishops, Barons, Earls. . . . but if I have to make an exception, this man would be the first to come to mind.

[murraydyeronemillionyearsa]

David is my hero, the most amazing human I have ever known of, thankyou

[jtnovaten]

You're a treasure Sir Attenborough. Thank you for putting your testimony into the history books for future generations to see. 🌎

When I moved from Ohio to Danmark in 2006 I was to say the least, shocked at how little meat of all kinds they eat here. Meat is not the main feature of meals. Surprisingly, it didn't take long to not only adapt but to enjoy this lifestyle of eating. You can of course eat meat with every meal but in smaller amounts while the other food groups make up the complete meal. There is no shortage of meat here whatsover, Danmark is the biggest producer and exporter of pork on the planet, chicken, duck, beef, fish and seafood are all abundant here too. It takes a while to get used to it and to realize while nutrition from meat is important and necessary it's not so much needed in huge amounts. Last year the farmer's field behind our house was a test field to see the effects/loss of harvest by using zero pesticides, the harvest was unbelievably good.

I cry everyday I hear Attenboro talk about how mankind truly are unknowingly self absorbed and have grown up feeling entitled. If I had access to National Geographic geographic growing up, my life choices would have chosen a different path. The problem is US. People care more about texting with their heads buried in the ground and say, " I didnt cause all this damage, let the next generation deal with it " well...welcome to reality, look around you. David doesn't sugar coat anything. Good for him. Bless him😢

[kirankumar]

Thank you for sharing this, David Attenborough. You have been my greatest childhood hero, and it was you with your talented wisdom who inspired me to care for and respect the natural world. And happy 98th birthday to you, too!

[johnelliott]

When the student is ready, David Attenborough will appear.

[jodywho]

The world has been a better place to be, with you in it😊

[geoufo]

This book is a extraordinary so true this man should receive the Nobel Peace Prize... it really comes down to.... we didn't inherit this planet from our ancestors.. we borrowed it from our children

[GuitarUniverse]

Mr. Attenborough - I am a baby boomer. I’m sorry my generation was so selfish. Speaking for myself, I believed in peace, protested the war in Vietnam, and so forth. When I was younger, I worked for peace, supported environmental causes and was actually quietly proud that I never bought a brand new car.

But we failed. Ourselves. And the planet. I’m so ashamed of my failure, our failure. I’ve watched you for over 50 years and I’m deeply moved by you now because you are so clearly heart-broken. Contained in your life and career is the entire tragedy. Much respect to you sir!

Why do people mess with the original post, making it tacky and tasteless, this post was perfect without the interference with added stupid animal sounds and fake buzzing of bugs, background music, why don't humans leave shit alone you people mess a perfect post, when all you needed was the voice of Sir David Attenborough's unique voice, God Bless you Sir David Attenborough for your life's work, I have watched you most of my life as far as I can remember. You are a treasure to the natural world, you are the voice the natural has needed, without your wisdom I am afraid the natural world would have suffered a greater loss, Thank You for bringing the world together and open our eyes to the damage we have done and unfortunately continue to do. God Bless You for caring for all that sleep under our stars....F A Cabral

Thank you David, for a lifetime of teachings.. I've grown up listening to your voice explaining about the natural world.. You are one of a kind 🌍❤️🌎

[moonoreo]

I grew up with this voice and now I enjoy it with my morning tea and use it to sleep. I also listen to learn. If only he was my teacher lol

[jamiecarpen]

Absolute legend, the amount of times I’m in the middle of doing something and I’ve heard his voice on the tv, it’s drawn me like a tractor beam to my sofa, held me captive and warmed me with his knowledge, I’ve utter respect and love for this man and it holds no boundaries, ❤️X
