I have the highest respect for David Attenborough and I enjoyed many of his shows. He's right about everything he said and his ideas are certainly worth thinking about.
Sadly I don't think any of this will happen. So long as mankind thinks in terms of race and nationality there won't be change. That has to be the first step or otherwise we might fall victim to the sixth extinction event. Just my two cents.
David's notable "testament". Unfortunately, the selfishness and conflicting interests of the human species will not allow it to be implemented, and as always we will want to learn from our mistakes. It's a pity it might be too late this time.
This was beautifully done and for the first time I've left one of these documentaries feeling hopeful. It's not preachy and it places the weight of the solution on the true culprits - the big companies, the billionaires hoarding the world's resources for themselves and the world's leaders. Attenborough makes it clear that one of the most sustainable solutions to global warming is the successful redistribution of wealth, guaranteeing health, education and safety to all. Often times, documentaries on Planet Earth and the global warming annoy me because they seem to place the blame on people who barely have any control over their own lives, much else something as large scale as the Earth's climate. It's time we realise that as long as poverty and class inequality exist and the working class, which amounts for most of the world's population, is systemically underpaid and explored, no one will give a crap about becoming vegan or driving a bicycle. However, people who have more money than they, and their descendants, could spend in a lifetime, need to be truly pressured and social justice needs to be restored before we can even begin to dream of a future as bright as the one Attenborough optismitcally and refreshingly offers here.
Beautiful, thought proving by a legend. I myself have been vegan over 4 years now and it's the single best thing you can do in your everyday life to help this planet. For starters I recommend watching Cowspiracy, What the Health, Dominion.
The film features stunning photography of nature and wildlife, and is definitively worth-watching and thought-provoking. I love David Attenborough's accent, he speaks so clearly and understandably that the film can be recommended to people learning English even at lower levels. The ecological message was great for the feast of St. Francis. I did not like the idea of eoncouraging people to reduce the number of children they have, it looks like a bad idea as in most developed countries there is already problem with negative natural increase so it would have a bad effect on these countries. I also wonder about re-wilding the planet and introducing sustanability, would it not lead to job loss among people employed in industries related to overexploitation of nature? Caring about nature is very important but people are far more important than animals. I also disliked the part in which humans are called a species of animal, they are much better than that as they have immortal souls which animals do not possess. Choosing between animal and human welfare, humans are alaways more important.
This movie is full of anticommunism and ecofascism.
The population on earth is not the cause of climate change, the 1% are the responsable.
All living human beings must see this documentry
WOW! Never really watched any wildlife documentaries. This just showed us what we have done to earth and many like myself probably don't even think about it. At least he told us that there is a way we can spot destroying the planet for future generations because we don't own the planet we are just renting it!
Every human should see this. It is so beautiful and eye opening at the same time.
Not much new that we didn’t know. All those low life countries need to stop deforestation and wild animal hunt. But they won’t because all those countries are poor and corrupt.
And maybe let corona do its job and kill x% of the world population.

It was amazing to watch David Attenborough share his powerful, knowledgeable, inspiring message, the truth, and the reality to the world on the big screen for first time tonight and it was a great experience and his message was deep, emotional and beautiful at the same time.
We really can make a difference today if we listen, see, believe and make the effort to do so.
