Essential read if we want our society to start changing our habits

Boek voor pws maar was fascinerend

This book is not only a memoir of the author but of the earth. He starts the book by giving stats of the earth the year he was born (population, carbon in the air, wilderness,etc) as he progresses he updates how the earth has changed (spoiler alert carbon and population has gone up and the wilderness has decreased). In the second half of the book he tells us how we can do better!

A very informative read and much different from other books I have read on the subject. I don’t agree with everything he talks about in this book primarily evolution- but the rest of it was on point!

I was expecting this book to be more of an autobiography. It did have chapters that were autobiographical, but the focus was more of a call to arms to combat climate change and biodiversity loss. Good read expressing the urgency of our situation while also providing hope for a better future.

What a life lived. Gotta love David Attenborough’s tireless quest to spread nature awareness.

Wat een prachtig boek! Ik zou iedereen willen aanraden om dit te lezen. Om een goed beeld te krijgen van de huidige, vrij belabberde staat van onze aardbol, maar ook om hoop te putten uit alle prachtige initiatieven over de hele wereld. Zoals David Attenborough zelf al stelt: we kunnen heel veel bereiken door samen te werken in plaats van ieder voor zich. Laten we ons verenigen en zo invloed uitoefenen op ónze toekomst.

David Attenborough is a treasure. I believe what he says. This book made me sad.
