Beloved naturalist Sir David Attenborough celebrates his 97th birthday and is flooded with well wishes on social media. Fans thank him for his decades of dedication towards promoting nature and inspiring generations to care for the planet. Sir David has been captivating audiences since the 1950s with his wildlife programs and documentaries.

Despite reportedly earning over £3,000 a minute for his latest run of TV shows and launching content on Apple TV and Netflix, he admits to regretting not making more programs about Britain. He also acknowledges the influence that teachers have on the younger generation's environmentally conscious mindset. Sir David is heartened by this new change and hopes to reach a younger demographic by working with streaming services.
