Sir David Attenborough: There is still time to ‘switch off the reactor’ and save the natural world

The Telegraph published this video item, entitled “Sir David Attenborough: There is still time to ‘switch off the reactor’ and save the natural world” – below is their description.

Sir David Attenborough says there is still time to reverse a “fading” of the natural world “if we act now”. “We live our comfortable lives in the shadow of a disaster of our own making,” said the broadcaster as he releases a new book. “This book is the story of how we came to make this our greatest mistake and how if we act now, we can yet put it right.” A Life on Our Planet: My Witness Statement and Vision for the Future, is out now (Witness Books, £20); books.telegraph.co.uk. The book is available in hardback, ebook, and audio.
