A Life on Our Planet

<p><b>With a new afterword, Why You Are Here: A </b><b>speech on the opening of the COP26 climate summit</b><br><br>As a young man, I felt I was out there in the wild, experiencing the untouched natural world - but it was an illusion. The tragedy of our time has been happening all around us, barely noticeable from day to day - the loss of our planet's wild places, its biodiversity. <br><br>I have been witness to this decline. <i>A Life on Our Planet</i> contains my witness statement, and my vision for the future - the story of how we came to make this, our greatest mistake, and how, if we act now, we can yet put it right.<br><br>We have the opportunity to create the perfect home for ourselves and restore the wonderful world we inherited.<br><br>All we need is the will do so.</p>
