On 'A life on our planet' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s been some time since I first read ‘A life on our planet’ but recently, I found myself returning to it.I spent the past couple of months working through climate policy reports, and the way measurements are reported. I cannot shake the timeline David Attenborough lays out in his book, his own life measured against the rapid loss of biodiversity around him, and how similar measurements now get reported back in decision rooms i.e. year, world population, percentage of wilderness left.I have bee
