原文

Having spent decades travelling the globe and producing some of the most memorable documentaries of all time, few people know the natural world quite like David Attenborough.

That's why he's so concerned about the issue of climate change, which will threaten humanity's very survival unless urgent action is taken to halt the damage it has already caused.

Attenborough's latest offering, A Life On Our Planet, is a reflective piece, looking back on his 94 years on Earth and sending a desperate appeal for help in securing its future.
