More quotes by David Attenborough
I believe the Abominable Snowman may be real. I think there may be something in that.
David Attenborough
All we can hope for is that the thing is going to slowly and imperceptibly shift. All I can say is that 50 years ago there were no such thing as environmental policies.
David Attenborough
Cameramen are among the most extraordinarily able and competent people I know. They have to have an insight into natural history that gives them a sixth sense of what the creature is going to do, so they can be ready to follow.
David Attenborough
I would love to see a giant squid. Very few people have seen them. And only about half a dozen people have seen one alive.
David Attenborough
The process of making natural history films is to try to prevent the animal knowing you are there, so you get glimpses of a non-human world, and that is a transporting thing.
David Attenborough
All the modern devices we have enable us to investigate things and have enabled us to do better.
David Attenborough
No one will protect what they don't care about, and no one will care about what they have never experienced.
David Attenborough

David Attenborough
Birds are the most accomplished aeronauts the world has ever seen. They fly high and low, at great speed, and very slowly. And always with extraordinary precision and control.
David Attenborough
Now, I find that very difficult to reconcile with notions about a merciful God.
David Attenborough
I'm no longer sceptical. I no longer have any doubt at all. I think climate change is the major challenge facing the world.
David Attenborough
Humanity is facing a very big, slow, long, drawn-out threat, and that is to do with the way the weather is changing and the size of the population.
David Attenborough
Well, I'm having a good time. Which makes me feel guilty too. How very English.
David Attenborough
You have to steer a course between not appalling people, but at the same time not misleading them.
David Attenborough
London has fine museums, the British Library is one of the greatest library institutions in the world... It's got everything you want, really.
David Attenborough
People talk about doom-laden scenarios happening in the future: they are happening in Africa now. You can see it perfectly clearly. Periodic famines are due to too many people living on land that can't sustain them.
David Attenborough
Terrorism is an immediate problem that people are very concerned about, and I am as concerned about that as anyone else. But it isn't an either or situation.
David Attenborough
I am an ardent recycler. I would like to think that it works. I don't know whether it does or not.
David Attenborough
If we and the rest of the back-boned animals were to disappear overnight, the rest of the world would get on pretty well. But if the invertebrates were to disappear, the world's ecosystems would collapse
