Totally right! 🙏🏻
For many of us, our first safari was from a sofa. Childhood eyes learning to love something we had never seen, in places we had never been. The wild was no longer far away, it was right there in our homes.
At the heart of this was David Attenborough. He didn’t just bring nature closer. He shaped how we see it. And more importantly, how we value it. Because of him, entire generations didn’t just grow up watching wildlife, they grew up caring about what happens if it disappears.
For many of us working at Wilderness, that spark led somewhere real. From television screens to open vehicles, from childhood fascination to working with wildlife or young communities through CITW. Today, his legacy lives in the choices we make, the journeys we take, and the responsibility we carry to safeguard what remains.
And today, as he turns 100, we thank him and celebrate a life that continues to inspire.
