Happy Birthday Sir Attenborough

Happy Birthday Sir Attenborough

Sir David Attenborough turns 93 years old today.

The man that said he’d only started making programmes as he enjoyed observing nature, who met with -then President- Obama back in 2015 to discuss the challenge of climate change. Has authored documentaries that showcase the natural world in the hope that it’ll inspire society to take steps to preserve its natural beauty.

We look back at his great achievements and the impact he has had on what we know about our planet and how we view nature.

Yes, you do.
