The old man said: "There is no need to despair."

This documentary is not at all in the definition of "good-looking", because most of the footage comes from past documentaries, and it is more like a "last words" monologue of Attenborough.

After all, he has lived on this planet for more than 90 years, traveled through almost all countries in the world, witnessed the changes in the natural environment and the survival of animals and plants, and left us a message in the final journey of life, hoping to continue to influence the coexistence of mankind and the earth. The relationship is awe-inspiring.

Although researchers can predict that the world will enter a wasteland period in the next hundred years at such a speed that humans affect the earth. But environmental awareness is actually one of human behavior patterns. Since it is human activity and behavior, it can be understood in economics. (In case of indecision, use economics)

It can be expected that with the reduction of species and the deterioration of the environment, the benefits of continued fishing, hunting, and logging will become smaller and the costs will become greater. Humans are born to weigh, and weighing is also the starting point of economics. The "alternative plan" came into being.

The various sustainability solutions mentioned by the old man in the second half of the film have been implemented in our country for many years so that we are all familiar with it (this is why the latter part looks so friendly), returning farmland to forests, banning fishing and fishing, and developing new ones. Energy and so on. I believe that in the near future, the problems of energy and materials can be solved. In short, we don't need to be too disappointed in human beings and despair in the world. Our children can still live well on the earth.

Thank you Mr. Attenborough for sharing his life mileage.

    I have been exploring the world all my life and have visited more places than anyone. After witnessing the changes in our living environment in the past seventy years, he said that we still have hope to remedy it. We not only need knowledge but also wisdom. Put it in our own interests, because nature will regain vitality no matter whether there is human beings or not, and we need nature to save ourselves, and we still have the opportunity to reintegrate into the mutually beneficial system of nature. Please imagine such a future.

    The two people who watched with MX at Odeon in Camden were very moved. It's his statement of what we're facing and what we need to do to cope with the situation. Stunning, heart-breaking, but also with hope. “Now we don't need intelligence, but wisdom” We really need to know how to work with the nature and other creatures, rather than limit our view merely focusing on ourselves. It’s us that needs to be rescued

David Attenborough: A Life on Our Planet quotes

  • David Attenborough: This is not about saving our planet, it's about saving ourselves. The truth is, with our without us, the natural world will rebuild.

  • David Attenborough: The living world will endure. We humans cannot presume the same. We've come this far because we are the smartest creatures that have ever lived. But to continue, we require more than intelligence. We require wisdom.
