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

“The Earth’s life-support machine, the thing we humans rely upon for everything we need, runs on its biodiversity. Yet the way we live on Earth now is sending it into a decline. I have been a 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.”
– David Attenborough

A Life On Our Planet: My Witness Statement and Vision for the Future is David’s witness statement, reflecting on his remarkable career exploring and documenting the natural world, and the decline of the planet’s environment and biodiversity he’s observed first-hand in that time. An intimate, urgent and impassioned book borne out of a lifetime’s experience and knowledge, it will also present his view on the future that lies ahead if we continue as we are, and a plan for how to avoid that future.
