Go Green Club 05-02-2019, Tuesday, Civil Engineering. It seems to me that the natural world is the greatest source of excitement; the greatest source of visual beauty; the greatest source of intellectual interest. It is the greatest source of so much in life that makes life worth living. – David Attenborough Sir David Frederick Attenborough was born on 8 May 1926, an English broadcaster and natural historian. He is best known for writing and presenting, in conjunction with the BBC Natural History Unit, the 9 natural history documentary series forming the Life collection that together constitute a comprehensive survey of animal and plant life on Earth. He is a former senior manager at the BBC, having served as controller of BBC Two and director of programming for BBC Television in the 1960s and 1970s. Attenborough is widely considered a national treasure in Britain, although he himself does not like the term. In 2002 he was named among the 100 Greatest Britons following a UK-wide poll for the BBC. He is the younger brother of the director, producer and actor Richard Attenborough, and older brother of the motor executive John Attenborough. At least 15 species and genera, both living and extinct, have been named in Attenborough's honour. One among them is a new species of fan-throated lizard from coastal Kerala in Southern India was named Sitana attenboroughii in his honour when it was described in 2018.

He has been making television programmes for over 60 years and is considered by many to be a national treasure. Early Life David Frederick Attenborough was born in London on 8th May 1926. Growing up, he lived with his parents (Mary and Frederick) and his two brothers (Richard and John) on the campus of University College, Leicester, as his father was a principal there. In 1939, the Attenborough family fostered two German-Jewish girls called Irene and Helga, who became like sisters to David.

Once he graduated, he was called to do two years’ service in the Royal Navy. He spent those two years in North Wales. Television In 1952, David joined the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) full time as a producer. In 1954, he began working on a series called ‘Zoo Quest’. This was filmed in many interesting places and showed animals in their natural environment. Something that hadn’t been done much before. The show was incredibly popular. David left the BBC in 1972 so he could write and produce his own shows. In 1979 he started a series called ‘Life on Earth’ which became popular. He continued to add to his ‘Life Collection’ for over 30 years, with each series focusing on a different plant or animal group.

Reading Comprehension Text David Attenborough Is a Wildlife Film
Sir David Attenborough – Reading Comprehension Text David Attenborough is a wildlife film- maker who is best known for introducing generations to the world’s furry and feathered friends. He has been making television programmes for over 60 years and is considered by many to be a national treasure. Early Life David Frederick Attenborough was born in London on the 8th of May 1926. Growing up, he lived with his parents (Mary and Frederick) and his two brothers (Richard and John) at the University College of Leicester as his father was a headteacher there. In 1939, the Attenborough family fostered two girls called Irene and Helga, who David bonded with very quickly. As a child, David loved science and nature. He collected fossils, rocks and other specimens, such as bird eggs. After he had finished school, he went to Cambridge University to study natural sciences. Once he graduated in 1947, he spent two years serving in the Royal Navy. Television In 1952, David joined the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) as a producer. In 1954, he began working on a show called ‘Zoo Quest’. This was filmed around the globe and showed animals in their natural environment. The show was a huge success as no one had recorded anything like this before. He created a new style of wildlife programme – one which focused heavily on the animals, rather than the presenter. He would spend little time on screen and would instead narrate over the recordings. David left the BBC in 1972 as he wanted to pursue his dream of writing and producing his own shows.

Sir David Attenborough Sir David Attenborough is a natural historian and TV presenter who has introduced millions of people to a variety of animals from around the world. He has a distinctive and widely recognisable voice which people have come to both copy and love. His Younger Years and Family Life David Frederick Attenborough was born 8th May 1926 in London. He and his two brothers were raised on the campus of University College in Leicester where their father was a university principal and writer. Attenborough became interested in the natural world and animals from a young age. By the age of seven, he had an impressive collection of bird eggs and fossils. Once he had finished school, David studied natural sciences at the University of Cambridge. However, once he graduated, David was called to serve for two years in the Royal Navy. He spent two years on a ship in North Wales and did not get to see the world as he had hoped. In 1950, Attenborough married Jane Oriel and they had two children together. Sadly, Jane died in 1997. His Career After the war ended, Attenborough returned to London and by 1952, he was working as a producer for the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation). This was the beginning of an amazing career in television. Things were not easy at the BBC to begin with. There were few programmes about the natural sciences and those that were did not film animals in their natural environment. This troubled Attenborough and so in 1954, he began a series called ‘Zoo Quest’.
