Sir David Attenborough has received yet another environmental award, named as a Champion of the Earth by the United Nations

The lifetime achievement award has been given in recognition of the 95-year-old’s commitment to climate advocacy and his promotion of the natural world.

In his acceptance, Attenborough told delegates we need to act now to save our planet, before it’s too late.

He also spoke on the theme of hope, and how humans have made meaningful climate action in the past.

“Fifty years ago, whales were on the very edge of extinction worldwide. Then people got together and now there are more whales in the sea than any living human being has ever seen”

Attenborough says the world knows what the problems are, we know how to fix them – now all we need is unified action.

Champions of the Earth

The UN’s Environmental Programme established the Champions of the Earth award in 2005 to recognise outstanding climate leaders.

It chose to recognise Sir David because of his ongoing commitment to broadcasting the natural world.

“If we stand a chance of averting climate and biodiversity breakdowns and cleaning up polluted ecosystems, it’s because millions of us fell in love with the planet that he showed us on television”

Inger Andersen, U.N. environment programme Executive Director

Last year, Ugandan Veterinarian Gladys Kalema-Zikusoka was named Champion of the Earth for her pioneering work in conservation.

The award comes as Apple TV Plus releases its latest trailer for its nature docuseries “Prehistoric Planet”.

The program, narrated by Sir David, will transport viewers across 66 million years to discover our world from a new perspective.

Prehistoric Planet is streaming from May 23.

Ukraine has managed to launch successful attacks on key Russian military facilities, leaving experts and analysts baffled by the unexpected outcomes.

These strategic assaults have raised questions about Ukraine’s military capabilities and the effectiveness of its tactics in countering Russian forces.

Ukraine’s recent victories can be attributed to several key factors.

Additionally, Ukraine has received substantial support from international allies, both in terms of military equipment and training. This assistance has bolstered the Ukrainian military’s effectiveness and provided them with advanced weaponry, giving them an edge in their confrontations with Russian forces.
