Sir David Attenborough has warned that “human beings have overrun the world” in a trailer for his new film.
The feature-length documentary, titled David Attenborough: A Life On Our Planet, looks back on the defining moments of his life and the environmental devastation that has taken place during that time.
As well as highlighting some of the issues that climate change poses, he also explores some of the potential solutions. In the trailer, the veteran broadcaster, 93, said:
“I’ve had the most extraordinary life. It is only now that I appreciate how extraordinary.”
Sir David Frederick Attenborough (born 8 May 1926 is an English broadcaster and natural historian. He is best known for writing and presenting, in conjunction with the BBC Natural History Unit, the nine natural history documentary series forming the Life collection that together constitutes a comprehensive survey of animal and plant life on Earth. He is the only person to have won BAFTAs for programs in each of black and white, color, HD, 3D, and 4K. In 2018 and 2019, he received Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Narrator.
Attenborough is widely considered a national treasure in the UK, although he himself does not like the term. In 2002, he was named among the 100 Greatest Britons following a UK-wide poll for the BBC. He is the younger brother of the director, producer, and actor Richard Attenborough (Jurassic Park).
Ol’ David should try visiting one of the many areas of the world, in fact most of the areas of the world, in which few if any people live. There is no overpopulation problem; there might be a population concentration problem. The difference is important.
