Happy Birthday to Sir David Attenborough, who turns 100 today (8th May in the United Kingdom).
I believe he has seen more life on Earth than anyone who has ever lived, and for much of it he brought billions of us along with him. That I grew up to work as a biologist in the wilds is due to the inspiration and love for nature bestowed by Sir David’s many documentaries.
Words can’t express my love for this man and his work. Endlessly wise, witty, daring and full of compassion – Sir David is, and will always be, my hero.
