David Attenborough, now a 94-year-old naturalist, has dedicated his life to exploring the

planet. Attenborough began traveling the world at a very young age, becoming one of the
greatest science communicators ever. His are not just world travels, but real explorations,
comprehensive investigations into life on Earth. In A life on our planet.

Attenborough recounts his life as an explorer and the evolutionary story of life on Earth, with
particular attention to the current state of degradation, opening up alarming scenarios for the
future, but also a possibility. The presenter, going through the ages of our planet, clearly,
directly and dramatically exposes the situation in which it finds itself, presenting the point of
destruction that life on Earth has reached and opening up perspectives for the future, indicating
the way forward immediately to avoid a catastrophe in which there would be no escape for
man. Attenborough is not only one of the leading experts in the history of the evolution of our
planet, but, in his fifty years of work, he is himself a witness of the disastrous climatic and
environmental changes of this century, fueled and accelerated by the unregulated technological
development applied by man. We are facing the desertification of the planet and the total
destruction of all resources and, therefore, of life.

By 2100, our planet will have warmed by as much as four degrees, large areas of the Earth will
be uninhabitable, millions of people will be left homeless, we will be in the midst of a mass
extinction. We must restore the biodiversity of our planet which is in grave danger. For David
Attenborough we can still do something, indeed we must fight for our future. Man must not only
use intelligence but wisdom to save himself.

It's not about saving our planet, it's about saving ourselves.
