David Attenborough turns 100 today.

Attenborough’s work has always been important to me. I’ve always looked forward to new episodes from his series. From the early expeditions to Borneo, to Madagascar with the Elephant bird egg, the dinosaur series, …

It’s not only his work, but also his attitude towards his career that inspires me.

Going on expeditions as a hunter for wildlife for zoo’s in the early twentieth century, that was the common way to appreciate nature. We’ve come a long way, that practice is no longer accepted. He reinvented himself into a television and documentary maker specifically.

By the start of the 21st century he did not shy away from talking about climate change and the impact of humans on nature and the planet’s ecosystems. Even when that were uncomfortable messages to bring sometimes.

Thank you, David, for sharing and for inspiring!
