About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

See the world. Then make it better.

I am 94. I've had an extraordinary life. It's only now that I appreciate how extraordinary.

As a young man, I felt I was out there in the wild, experiencing the untouched natural world - but it was an illusion. The tragedy of our time has been happening all around us, barely noticeable from day to day - the loss of our planet's wild places, its biodiversity.

I have been witness to this decline. A Life on Our Planet contains my witness statement and my vision for the future - 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 have the opportunity to create the perfect home for ourselves and restore the wonderful world we inherited.

All we need is the will to do so.

Critic Reviews

"Read this book to learn, but also to honour the man. We shall never see his like again." (Sunday Times)

Most relevant

I have always loved the author's programs on TV. This book enforces the fact that there is no plan(et) B. We need to change our way of living if life on earth is to continue and flourish. His narration makes it easy to understand this. A must read for everyone who is planet conscious!
