书籍简介：

A Life On Our Planet “I am 94. I've had an extraordinary life. It's only now that I appreciate how extraordinary. As a young man, I felt I was out there in the wild, experiencing the untouched natural world – but it was an illusion. The tragedy of our time has been happening all around us, barely noticeable from day to day – the loss of our planet's wild places, its biodiversity. I have been witness to this decline. A Life on Our Planet is my witness statement, and my vision for the future. It is the story of how we came to make this, our greatest mistake – and how, if we act now, we can yet put it right. We have one final chance to create the perfect home for ourselves and restore the wonderful world we inherited.” All we need is the will to do so. In this scientifically informed account of the changes occurring in the world over the last century, award-winning broadcaster and natural historian shares a lifetime of wisdom and a hopeful vision for the future. See the world. Then make it better. Review "The eminent traveler and naturalist delivers a combination of memoir and manifesto, the first leisurely, the second earnest….Recognizing that we are at a tipping point, Attenborough is refreshingly optimistic, noting that one thing humans do well is solve problems. Anyone concerned with the planet's ecological future will want to spend time with this excellent book."―Kirkus Reviews, starred review

书友短评：

@ momo 关于环保看了很多读了很多，但最能打动人心的还是David Attenborough。老爷子永远这么真挚诚恳，字里行间都是对地球对自然的无限热爱。 @ _Extra_ONE 虽然情况紧急 但很可能人类社会整体还没有发展到这种觉悟 经济基础决定上层建筑 @ Celia 之前翻译过企鹅的一本环保图书《waste》，里面提到的观点大同小异，其实环保本无新鲜事，只是需要多提多警醒，让看书的人对此能有更多认知罢了。 @ Young_To 先看了纪录片 在读书的时候恍如David在耳边又带我走了一遍我们曾经拥有过的 曾经毁掉过的 以及如果我们及时行动还有机会挽救的家园 @ timesawastin 人类第一次进入太空时，最让所有人震撼的是地球，地球的有限。母猩猩的那个故事最让我动容。最后半小时的glossary，我竟然认真地听完了。 @ 照叶 一位年将百岁的老人仍然在孜孜不倦地呼吁环境保护迫在眉睫的重要性。切尔诺贝利证明了，地球并不会因为人类而灭亡；所以老人在最后说，保护环境，最终还是为了保护人类。 @ ∆ 去年读的。留下印象的只是作者的经历，只能说BBC的人那时真有钱，以及真有那个能力、智慧、迫力去完成那一部部精彩绝伦的纪录片。但关于环保的例子、观点，其实跟这些年来看到、读到的都差不多，总感觉老生常谈。 @ 真吾葬念 “我于全新世降生，并将在人类世离去。”一生里见证的地球变化，都在他的书里和纪录片里了。暂不提执行难度，老爷子给出的拯救人类方案可以的。不说了，我去买纸质书了，我要看一百遍。 @ 猩猩 literally lived through a different epoch的传奇了。最后一章够感人够煽情足够call to action的力度！最后还有glossary真的很严谨了。学到了很多东西，以及新西兰真的是人类新世纪文明的曙光！ @ shushdube 没有信心能够成为绝对的环保主义者，比如少吃肉，可是不等于不能在日常生活中为环保尽绵薄之力。
