“I’ve been lucky enough to live through what well might be considered the golden age of natural history filmmaking.” – Sir David Attenborough

Sir David Attenborough has been part of the natural history filmmaking world for 60 years – a witness to a huge period of change in Earth’s history. Starting this Wednesday, Nature will be dedicating a three-part special to David Attenborough’s life and work.
