“Now, over half of us live in an urban environment. My home, too, is here in the city of London. Looking down on this great metropolis, the ingenuity with which we continue to reshape the surface of our planet is very striking. It’s also very sobering, and reminds me of just how easy it is for us to lose our connection with the natural world.Yet it’s on this connection that the future of both humanity and the natural world will depend. And surely, it is our responsibility to do everything within our power to create a planet that provides a home not just for us, but for all life on Earth.”

“All we can hope for is that the thing is going to slowly and imperceptibly shift. All I can say is that 50 years ago there were no such thing as environmental policies.”
David Attenborough“All our environmental problems become easier to solve with fewer people and harder - and ultimately impossible to solve - with ever more people.”
David Attenborough“There is no question that climate change is happening the only arguable point is what part humans are playing in it. ”
David Attenborough“I don't run a car, have never run a car. I could say that this is because I have this extremely tender environmentalist conscience, but the fact is I hate driving.”
David Attenborough“We are not overpopulated in an absolute sense; we've got the technology for 10 billion, probably 15 billion people, to live on this planet and live good lives. What we haven't done is developed our technology.”
David Attenborough“Many individuals are doing what they can. But real success can only come if there is a change in our societies and in our economics and in our politics.”
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“I think a major element of jetlag is psychological. Nobody ever tells me what time it is at home.”
David Attenborough“I like animals. I like natural history. The travel bit is not the important bit. The travel bit is what you have to do in order to go and look at animals.”
