“Gavigudet” Recommends The Movie “David Attenborough: Life on Our Planet”

In April, we recommend the documentary named “David Attenborough: Life on Our Planet”.

94 years old David Attenborough (a famous British naturalist and BBC presenter who has traveled to every continent on earth) tells us how the condition on our planet has changed radically since his childhood.

this isn’t a movie just about problems. This is a movie that tells us about the solution and tries to show us what we need to do to preserve biodiversity, which is still vital to us. We won’t talk too much about the content of the film, we will just share several facts.

In 1937, when David was an 11years old boy:

World population – 2.3 billion

Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere – 280 (per million)

Remaining wildlife – 66%

In 1954:

World population – 2.7 billion

Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere – 310 (per million)

Remaining wildlife – 64%

In 1997:

World population – 5.9 billion

Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere – 360 (per million)

Remaining wildlife – 46%

In 2020:

World population – 7.8 billion

Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere – 415 (per million)

Remaining wildlife – 35%

Alarming, right?! The percentage of remaining wildlife in one human life has been reduced from 66% to 35%…
