About The Book
'If we take care of nature, nature will take care of us.' Sir David Attenborough
As a boy, David loved exploring the wild places near his home.
When he grew older, he had an idea for a television show: he would travel the world and film animals in their natural habitats. For seven decades, David’s documentaries about our planet have been treasured by millions.
But over time, he noticed the wild places he loved were shrinking. What could David do to help? What could we all do?
This is the inspiring story of Sir David Attenborough. It’s also the story of our planet and an urgent call for us to do our part to protect our planet and the creatures who call Earth home.
