A Life on Our Planet: My Witness Statement and a Vision for the Future by David Attenborough
5.0
A very accessible and poignant autobiography with references to back up his claims and personal observations.
This would be great as an audiobook (I read as a regular book and was imagining his voice throughout). It is heartbreaking to see how earth has changed since Sir David was young, but it ends hopeful for the future and explaining how we can reach this goal with the help of technology and adapting cities. I wish it had said more about what people specifically can do to make these changes happen, as it spoke more from a systemic level of making areas more green - which I don’t know how to start doing beyond my garden!
