A Life on Our Planet : My Witness Statement and a Vision for the Future

The Sunday Times bestseller by David Attenborough, who marks his 100th birthday this year - a deeply personal account of his love of the natural world, and the devastating changes to it he's witnessed first hand. As a young man, I felt I was out there in the wild, experiencing the untouched natural world - but it was an illusion.

The tragedy of our time has been happening all around us, barely noticeable from day to day - the loss of our planet's wild places, its biodiversity. I have been witness to this decline. A Life on Our Planet contains my witness statement, and my vision for the future - the story of how we came to make this, our greatest mistake, and how, if we act now, we can yet put it right.
