Sir David Attenborough Says Countries Must Come Together And 'Strain Every Muscle And Sinew' To Save The Planet
You may say it's because it is about tomorrow and tomorrow's world and it's their world and not our world, but I think it is more profound than that.
I’ve been to Antarctica and I’ve seen ice-loving penguins…being replaced by penguins from the north that like hotter conditions. It’s definitely happening — just in the last few years, two thirds of the great barrier reef have been bleached. Natural history shows on a scale like this always promise to show us things that we have never seen before. What will this series show us?A lot of things. We filmed the first ever intimate images of Siberian tigers in the wild — there are only 600 left in far eastern Russia. Two cameramen for up to periods of six weeks were literally locked into a hide — they couldn't leave it for six weeks. Everything they needed — food, the loo — everything was in this hide. They didn't film a frame.
The cameramen and women that I work with are extraordinary. They are unbelievably patient. Rarely did we have a trip less than six weeks and if we got three or four minutes of usable footage out of that, we would be delighted.David Attenborough: Of course, the reason you can say what I have just said with absolute assurance that it is correct, is because there is a sort of backlog of unexplored territory in the insect kingdom alone. We haven't scratched the surface of the number of insects that there are. It's easy enough.
Do you think that your work will cause an impact, so that people who are watching at home will be encouraged to work in that field of research?It's absurd for one person to generalise on that, but what I can say is that I get a lot of letters, I get 30-40 letters a day, and a good proportion of them say: 'I [have] watched natural history programmes all my life, and that is what made me feel that we should do something. I wanted to know more about the natural world.
