When it comes to English-language nature programs, perhaps the world’s most well-known voice is David Attenborough. Sir David Attenborough, as he is known in his native Britain, is a major television star. But he is also a tireless explorer and world traveler. Attenborough has visited many countries and has presented many animals from across the planet. He has been explaining the natural world to TV audiences since the 1950s. Like many of us, Attenborough has been in his house for much of 2020 because of the coronavirus pandemic. He has only left his home twice to have his teeth worked on. But that does not mean this lifelong lover of the outdoors has been cut off from nature. He told the Associated Press that he has been able to enjoy the natural world in his garden in a new way. “I’ve seen the world go by in the natural world in my garden with a continuity and intensity that I haven’t been able to give it for, almost forever, really.”
