Sir David Attenborough warns we have a "few short years" to fix world in new documentary

Sir David Attenborough has issued an urgent warning that humans only have a "few short years" to fix the natural world.

The 96-year-old naturalist appeared in a new documentary coming to BBC iPlayer which looks at the people in the UK trying to fight against the decline in nature while examining the wildlife and habitat at risk. The programme, Saving Our Wild Isles, sees Sir David "meet inspiring people, young and old, who are working to restore the natural world."

He also highlighted the urgent need to "repair our relationship with the natural world", adding: “We now have a few short years during which we can still make a choice, where just enough remains of the natural world for it to recover. This starts and ends with us.”
