As featured in The David Attenborough documentary "7 Worlds, One Planet"
He said: “Here, in Kenya, cheetahs have formed an unusual alliance.
These swiftest of cats usually hunt in groups of two or three, but this team of five is one of the largest ever recorded. Two sets of brothers and a lead male have now lived and hunted together for almost three years. By teaming up, they can hold the best territory in the area.”

"We need to rewild the world" - David Attenborough
David Attenborough's "A Life On Our Planet" is the most important film I've ever seen
t's surely our responsibility to do everything within our power to create a planet that provides a home not just for us, but for all life on Earth.
David Attenborough
The truth is: the natural world is changing. And we are totally dependent on that world. It provides our food, water and air. It is the most precious thing we have and we need to defend it.

The above words were spoken by the famous pioneering naturalist Sir David Attenborough who continues up until today to fight for nature and show us its beauty and power.
From John Muir to Sir David there is a clear understanding of the common thread which connects us all - the diversity of life and the intricate links between people, planet, flora and fauna which are key to our collective survival. It is time to embrace and value this diversity.

Between yesterday's fictional 88 year old Norman and Viktor Frankl to today's non-fictional gem by 96 year old David Attenborough...I pause for thought often.
Love his subtitle: My Witness Statement. Aren't we all, as photographers, offering our own witness statement by the pictures we shoot and share?
I'm hopeful we can, each in our own way, help to turn the tide...

If you watched the excellent BBC natural history programme on Puerto Rico in the West Indies, you will have seen film of the tiny Coqui. In the documentary, David Attenborough tells the story of this island's exotic but vulnerable wildlife. A team of conservation champions are making it their mission to save the most precious species.
Coquí is the common name for several species of small frogs in the Eleutherodactylus genus that are native to Puerto Rico. They are onomatopoeically named for the very loud mating call which the males of two species, the Common Coquí and the Mountain Coquí, make at night. The coquí is one of the most common frogs in Puerto Rico with more than 16 different species found within its territory.
This was one of many Common Coqui seen at TJ Ranch which could be heard calling all night long! This example climbed out of a hanging flower pot each evening after dark.

I'm like Albert Schweitzer and Bertrand Russell and Albert Einstein in that I have a respect for life - in any form. I believe in nature, in the birds, the sea, the sky, in everything I can see or that there is real evidence for. If these things are what you mean by God, then I believe in God. Frank Sinatra

Sir David Attenborough abseils down the green wall of the new Cambridge University building named after him! What an extraordinary chap.
This photo, along with a few more of my photos from this event, appeared in the media yesterday (The Telegraph, The Mirror, Daily Express, Daily Mail etc).
While it was fantastic to get such huge coverage for such a great story I was disappointed with the way the media credits photographers and checks attribution for photos:-(
On a lighter note, that colourfully dressed member of the University at the top somehow managed to sneak in to the shot and thus added another layer to the story (that really is another story:-)
Sir David with one of his admirers at the opening of Cambridge University's David Attenborough Building. I would have happily taken their portrait. However, this is a more interesting photo:-)
Sir David at the opening of the David Attenborough Building, University of Cambridge. With so many adoring fans, everyone wanted to be pictured with him. I'd like to see their selfie:-)
We the people can and should act now to help prevent the inevitable destruction caused by us. We cannot afford to keep on ignoring it. We have already created a crisis that we could have prevented and we only have ourselves to blame.
The loss of life, cities, homes, food, animal life is beyond imagination and this year, in particular, has created even more havoc. It is time to sit down and study the facts and the possibility of being responsible and good guardians and try and learn fully how to look after not abuse our globe.

Crows are incredibly smart. They can be taught five things on the drop. - Robbie Coltrane
The more often we see the things around us - even the beautiful and wonderful things - the more they become invisible to us. That is why we often take for granted the beauty of this world: the flowers, the trees, the birds, the clouds - even those we love. Because we see things so often, we see them less and less. - Joseph B. Wirthlin

David Attenborough says the world must act now on plastic after witnessing its impacts filming Blue Planet II
"We’ve seen albatrosses come back with their belly full of food for their young. You think it’s going to be squid, but it’s plastic".
“We may think we live a long way from the oceans but we don’t. What we actually do here ... has a direct effect on the oceans and what the oceans do then reflects back on us".
“It is one world. And it’s in our care. For the first time in the history of humanity, for the first time in 500 million years, one species has the future in the palm of its hands. I just hope he realizes that that is the case”.
"Almost 80 percent of the 8.3 billion metric tonnes of plastic produced over the past 70 years has been discarded into landfill or the environment, including the ocean".
"The plastic is thrown away since the 1950s will eventually form a layer sedimentary rock detectable by future generations".
"Tap-water samples from more than a dozen nations were recently analyzed for an investigation by Orb Media. Plastic fibers were found in more than 83 percent of the samples, meaning billions of people are drinking water contaminated with plastic particles".
"It is not yet known how the human body processes plastic after it is swallowed, including whether chemicals leach out of the plastic into the body and cause inflammation, or whether body tissue just seals over plastic".
"Blue Planet II returns to the oceans 16 years after the first series, The Blue Planet, was broadcast.
Its production team had noticed changes such as plastic in the ocean over years of making underwater films, said it's executive producer James Honeyborne".
"Greenpeace praised Sir David for speaking out. It called on the Government to introduce “deposit-return schemes”, whereby consumers receive a small deposit back when they return plastic packaging such as bottles for recycling".
“The good news is that there are things we could do right now to stop this plastic scourge,” said Greenpeace spokesperson Louise Edge.
Ms. Edge also called on companies to set a date for reducing the number of single-use bottles they produced and asked consumers to use less plastic".

David Attenborough Building, University of Cambridge. Sir David meeting students on the official opening of the building named after him. His love for nature and animals (including the human species) is intense, as you can see here. Just look at him: how he reaches out so warmly, how he clasps the shy student's hand, how he makes friendly eye contact! I suppose he's used to dealing with apes and other such creatures:-)

Final in this (extended) series. Managed to get Sir David in a street shot, in front of the Chronophage. It was a privilege being with him, on the day the David Attenborough Building was officially opened. A real gent!
World renowned naturalist, writer and broadcaster Sir David Attenborough has written the foreword to the Atlas of Britain & Ireland's Larger Moths. Around 25 million moth records from Butterfly Conservation's National Moth Recording Scheme and Moths Ireland have been combined to produce this landmark publication – the first-ever atlas of all macro-moths in Britain, Ireland, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands.
The atlas includes accounts for 866 macro-moth species, each with a distribution map showing current and historical occurrences, trends, status, a phenology chart and colour image. Like thousands of other enthusiasts, I’m delighted to have made a small contribution by submitting sightings from my garden over many years to my county moth recorder.

Title sequence for the stunning new BBC nature documentary series Planet Earth II narrated by David Attenborough. I can clearly watching his groundbreaking series "Life on Earth" as a 12 year old back in 1979. The man is amazing, still going strong at 91. He has done so much to instill a love of nature & the environment in millions & millions of people.
I sometimes think the best thing for our beautiful planet is if us humans make ourselves extinct as quickly as possible. The rate things are going it probably won't be that long. Then the Earth can breathe a sigh of relief & start to recover from our ravages.

Zoology Museum, University of Cambridge. Sir David Attenborough was back in Cambridge yesterday as a part of the Alumni Festival. Extraordinary guy. Look at his eye contact and the attention he gave each person he met!
Every now and again, something memorable happens in one's life. For me, it was spending a day working with Sir David Attenborough – supreme broadcaster and naturalist who, now in his 90s, is still at the top of his game.
He’s best known for his television work – in particular the nine Life series, made with the BBC Natural History Unit. His other programmes include The Blue Planet, The Frozen Planet and, more controversially, The Truth About Climate Change. At the moment, his latest blockbuster, Planet Earth II, is being aired. And he’s still working on new BBC projects.
In 1961 Sir David was a founding trustee of WWF, which in 2012 celebrated its 50th anniversary. In 2003 he became patron of ARKive, the global initiative which gathers film, photographic and sound recordings of the world's species into one centralised digital library for the benefit of present and future generations. He’s also a trustee of the British Museum and the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, and he’s the author of 24 books.
David Attenborough is, quite simply, the undisputed, unrivalled, unassailable voice of natural history. I took this photograph of him in 2011, in the garden of his home in Richmond upon Thames, west London and, like countless people around the world, I pay warm tribute to this extraordinary man.

Sooner or later, we will have to recognize that the Earth has rights, too, to live without pollution. What mankind must know is that human beings cannot live without Mother Earth, but the planet can live without humans.
Evo Morales
If we're destroying our trees and destroying our environment and hurting animals and hurting one another and all that stuff, there's got to be a very powerful energy to fight that. I think we need more love in the world. We need more kindness, more compassion, more joy, more laughter. I definitely want to contribute to that.

It's coming home to roost over the next 50 years or so. It's not just climate change; it's sheer space, places to grow food for this enormous horde. Either we limit our population growth or the natural world will do it for us, and the natural world is doing it for us right now.
