More quotes by David Attenborough
You'll find people where their conditions aren't changing in any way, its rather rare for them to be happy.
David Attenborough
The only way to save a rhinoceros is to save the environment in which it lives, because there's a mutual dependency between it and millions of other species of both animals and plants.
David Attenborough
I believe the Abominable Snowman may be real. I think there may be something in that.
David Attenborough
I've been bitten by a python. Not a very big one. I was being silly, saying: 'Oh, it's not poisonous' Then, wallop! But you have fear around animals.
David Attenborough
Its about cherishing the woodland at the bottom of your garden or the stream that runs through it. It affects every aspect of life.
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
The World is full of wonders, but they become more Wonderful, not less Wonderful when Science looks at them.
David Attenborough

David Attenborough

David Attenborough
I would love to go and see the Himalayan Mountain Kingdoms. There are very few left now. I would loved to have gone to Tibet and Nepal. And there are still parts of central Asia that are utterly unexplored.
David Attenborough
The question is, are we happy to suppose that our grandchildren may never be able to see an elephant except in a picture book?
David Attenborough
Steve Irwin did wonderful conservation work but I was uncomfortable about some of his stunts. Even if animals aren't aware that you are not treating them with respect, the viewers are.
David Attenborough
Can a growing human population still leave space for wildlife?
David Attenborough
An understanding of the natural world and what's in it is a source of not only a great curiosity but great fulfillment...
David Attenborough
There are perfectly good independent small nations.
David Attenborough
The fundamental issue is the moral issue.
David Attenborough
I often get letters, quite frequently, from people who say how they like the programmes a lot, but I never give credit to the almighty power that created nature.
David Attenborough
All life is related. And it enables us to construct with confidence the complex tree that represents the history of life
David Attenborough
We keep putting on programmes about famine in Ethiopia that’s what’s happening. Too many people there. They can’t support themselves — and it’s not an inhuman thing to say. It’s the case. Until humanity manages to sort itself out and get a coordinated view about the planet it’s going to get worse and worse.
David Attenborough
Fundamentally not to waste energy. If we were all to reduce our demands for energy, it would make an enormous amount of difference.
David Attenborough
