“I’ve certainly spent more time in my garden listening to birds, than I have for a very long time. A lot of people have been surprised by that - a lot of people have suddenly realised what deep, profound joy can come from witnessing the rest of the world - the natural world,” said Attenborough.

Newsmaker: As India fetes David Attenborough, a look at an incredible career

The face (and voice) of wildlife documentaries recently won the Indira Gandhi peace prize. A look at a legacy unmatched, and things he might have done differently.

But many naturalists say the pristine habitats depicted in his films have, for decades, failed to reflect reality.

Why India needs a climate warrior like Greta Thunberg

A fresh, young voice like that of Thunberg’s, I feel, can help bring much more attention to the issue, put pressure on the new government to meet its climate promises, and also push citizens to be partners in that effort. India is a young country, and who best to take charge of the future than the young themselves?
