#102: Natural History Reading List #7: 'A Life on Our Planet'

A Life on our Planet has the subtitle: My Witness Statement and a Vision for the Future, and is written by David Attenborough.

It's an essential book for any library of Natural History-related books.

To accompany the book, there is a Netflix film of the same name, which lasts for one hour and twenty minutes.

The book explores his life and key moments, which are also labelled with the PPM of Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere at that time.

The book has a wealth of quotes and information and is available in paperback now and other formats.

“All living things depend on the health of our planet. The only thing stopping humans from complete destruction is ourselves.”

A TES resource - with a biology link.

Twinkl subscribers have some options here as well.

Some resource links here. Geographers were on top of this when the film first came out on Netflix.

And some questions from some famous fans...
