Sir David Attenborough
If you watch TV, you probably know Sir David
Attenborough's work. After all, he is the 'godtauner
of wildlife documentaries and one of the most
loved and respected people in Britain.
His love of nature started when he was just a boy. He was
interested in fossils and he had a big collection of them.
It was no surprise that he decided to study Natural Sciences
of Cambridge University.
When he began his career at the BBC, in 1952, there
weren't many programmes about nature. Sir David changed
that with a series of documentaries called Zoo Quest. For
the first time, film crews travelled all over the world and
brought back black and white films showing animals in
their natural environment. Sir David produced a lot
more wildlife documentaries after that. They were
all very popular. Life on Earth had millions of
viewers worldwide.
His work still inspires viewers of all ages, all over
A FOS
the world. The films are now in full colour, HD and
even 3D. With the help of technology, we can see the world
through the eyes of a bird flying high in the sky, a fish
swimming deep in the ocean or a very small insect on a tree.
A number of plants, insects and birds have Sir David's
name. That's a great way to say a big thank you' to the
man who spends so much of his time caring for nature and
protecting it. Перевести и определить времена
