Hi everyone and welcome back to Green World,
Today we want to talk about one of the most inspiring naturalists of our time. It is, of course, David Attenborough. Today (08.05.2021) is his 95th birthday so we seemed it fitting to publish a post about him today.
Today we want to talk about one of the most inspiring naturalists of our time. It is, of course, David Attenborough. Today (08.05.2021) is his 95th birthday so we seemed it fitting to publish a post about him today.
Over his lifetime, David has won more than 40 awards for his work and was
named among the 100 greatest Britons in 2020.
David first joined the BBC in 1952 as a producer for the Talks department
which looked after all non-fiction broadcasts. Since then, he has worked on
lots of different programs and documentaries such as The Life Series, which
was first made in 1979. More recently, he has presented Blue Planet and Blue
Planet II. The latter had the most views recorded for a single program in
2017. David also gave the Royal Institution's Christmas Lecture in 1973 on The
Language of the Animals.
David Attenborough is still presenting documentaries to this day. He now lives
in Richmond and has two children, one of which is a senior lecturer in biology
anthropology so has followed in his dad's footsteps.
David Attenborough's Galápagos TV series also inspired our Galápagos mini
series.
