Sir David Attenborough is Britain's much loved and best known naturalist and  broadcaster. His career has lasted over an incredible 60 years and counting.

After leaving the Navy he joined the BBC in 1952 becoming controller of BBC2 then director of programmes for both channels in 1969. However he resigned from this position and returned to broadcasting going on to make some unforgettable programmes such as 'Life on Earth', 'The Living Planet', and more recently 'Planet Earth' and 'Africa'.

Attenborough is a legend with too many honours to his name to list here. He also works to support many environmental causes so I'll just leave you with this last message from Sir David Attenborough...

"The future of life on earth depends on our ability to take action… Real success can only come if there's a change in our societies and our economics and in our politics… Surely we have a responsibility to leave for future generations a planet that is healthy, inhabitable by all species."

"Psychology is as important as substance.
If you treat people with respect,
they will go out of their way to accommodate you.
If you treat them in a patronizing way,
they will go out of their way to make your life difficult."

- Mohamed ElBaradei (1942) : Egyptian diplomat

"An understanding of the natural world and what's in it
is a source of not only a great curiosity but great fulfillment."

"I like to listen.

Most people never listen."

"Conquer thyself,
till thou hast done this, thou art but a slave;
