Product Information

of the mass of all the mammals on Earth is made up of our own bodies and those of the animals that we raise to eat...The remainder - all the wild mammals, from mice to elephants and whales - account for just 4%. The natural world is fading. The evidence is all around. It has happened during my lifetime. I have seen it with my own eyes. It will lead to our destruction. Na druhou stranu není celá publikace jenom výčtem katastrof, v každé kapitole se autor věnuje i vyzdvižení toho, co se nám daří zase napravit, jak se snažíme obnovovat půdu a vytváříme chráněné rezervace, díky kterým se opětovně navyšuje populace ohrožených druhů zvířat.

This book is the story of how we came to make this, our greatest mistake, and how, if we act now, we can yet put it right. We all know about the ongoing climate debate and, like the author, some of us are willing to accept the indisputable evidence that climate change is seriously affecting our planet. Like him, some of us have witnessed the changes. In 2020 he was 93, and things changed quite a bit: population 7.8 billion, atmospheric carbon 415 ppm, and remaining wilderness 35%.Russian: Жизнь на нашей планете: Мое предупреждение миру на грани катастрофы, romanized: Zhizn na nashey planete: Moye preduprezhdeniye miru na grani katastrofy, lit.'Life on Our Planet: My Warning to the World on the Brink of Catastrophe'. Translated by Sergey Bavin. Moscow: BOMBORA. 2021. ISBN 9785041183585. I've been following the climate change debate for some time now, and a couple of years ago I realised something interesting, or perhaps peculiar is better word for it. In groups where people deny climate change is real, I kept coming across people saying they used to like Attenborough when they were kids, but now he had become all political with his support with the climate change nonsense so they couldn't stand him. Right on the other side of this debate, in groups that are radical in their fight against climate change, I kept coming across people that really disliked Attenborough because he knew all this about what was happening, and he wasn't even vegan, and that he was part of the problem as he had taken so many flights in his life. The peculiar thing about this is how these people that were on either side of this debate, the people that would argue the loudest about climate change, could unite in their common dislike of David Attenborough. This glorious visual celebration of the natural world combines extraordinary photography from the series with stunning illustrations from acclaimed artist, Richard Jones. Lose yourself in icy landscapes, dense jungles and endless oceans. Learn how our fascinating habitats, and the plants and creatures living there, interconnect to create the one place we all call home – Our Planet. This striking photographic companion to the groundbreaking NETFLIX original documentary series, from the directorsthat brought us the original Planet Earth and Blue Planet, takes us on a journey across the globe’s different biological realms to present stunning visuals of nature's most intriguing animals in action, and environmental change on a scale that must be seen to be believed.

This beautiful book is a companion to the Netflix series. Stunning photos and illustrations show the great diversity of life in some of the remotest parts of our planet. This beautifully written and informative book for children has an uplifting message of hope that will strike a chord with all the family. The perfect gift for families the world over to treasure forever.But ultimately this is an optimistic book. Because Mr. Attenborough believes that we can and will change. We really have no other option. In the third part of the book he shows what is already done in parts of the world and what has to be done globally to put things right. David Attenborough is optimistic, however. He believes that not only can we fix it but that we are willing to change to achieve it. He is hopeful that people can adjust the expectations of comfort and wealth growth and countries adjust to not focusing on GDP growth as the all-important metric, and that we will see the big picture and put things right. And he is very good at explaining his point so convisely and accessibly, and with such hope that even the cynics among us start wondering that maybe, just maybe, we have a chance after all. The difficulties are not ‘sugar coated’ as things that can be easily fixed. We are cautioned that some reversal strategies will be difficult to implement, but reminded that it is the sum of all the parts that count. This is a global call for action. He takes us on little journeys through rural England. We learn of his early fascination with fossils and thus learn some details about ammonites, their significance for natural history. We also learn of humanity's evolution, the different environmental circumstances which our ancestors had to survive and what has changed until now (this, the Holocene, is the gentlest era thus far). He also talks of mass extinctions. David Attenborough: A Life on Our Planet is a 2020 film by the documentarian and natural historian David Attenborough.
