As he narrates over stunning images of our globe and its oceans, Sir David Attenborough has thought back on his life.
The 98-year-old’s most recent documentary, Ocean with David Attenborough, will be published on Thursday, May 8, which also happens to be his 99th birthday.
It will be a fresh addition to Attenborough’s extensive body of wildlife documentaries, which already includes Africa, Planet Earth, and Blue Planet.
The British scientist discussed the problems confronting Earth and the impact on the ocean in a video that was made public before the film’s premiere in US cinemas.
“When I first saw the sea as a young boy, it was thought of as a vast wilderness to be tamed and mastered for the benefit of humanity,” said Attenborough.
“Now, as I approach the end of my life, we know the opposite is true.”Having spent over a century on this globe, I’ve come to realize that the most significant location on Earth is at sea, not on land.
