Beskrivning
The Sunday Times bestseller by David Attenborough, who marks his 100th birthday this year - a deeply personal account of his love of the natural world, and the devastating changes to it he's witnessed first hand.As a young man, I felt I was out there in the wild, experiencing the untouched natural world - but it was an illusion. The tragedy of our time has been happening all around us, barely noticeable from day to day - the loss of our planet's wild places, its biodiversity.I have been 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.

  1. 5/5 Ann-Sofie G

    Bra överblick över hur vi människor ”lyckats” förstöra så mycket av den biologiska mångfalden och klimatet, under Attenboroughs liv.
    Hoppfull information om möjliga lösningar.
    Skrivet på en för mig njutbar engelska.
    Jag lånade boken påbiblioteket, och efter genomläsning vill jag ha ett eget ex för framtiden
