  1. The book "A Life on Our Planet" is a hard (as in "tough") read, but well worth the effort. In fact, you should read it!

    Sir David Attenborough recently turned 100. He has seen the world around him change. Not just in the general sense, but from an environmental, social, and financial perspective.

  4. Last Sunday, I had the privilege to see Attenborough's "Our Story" in the Artis Planetarium. The experience nudged me on an intertwined train of thought.

    The short film is a quick overview of the rise of our species - how we grew from an animal trying to survive to a powerful collective that exerts vast influence over the planet that birthed us. It was a lovely way to celebrate Attenborough's 100th birthday, as one of the treasured people of mankind. His message of hope drew a parallel between how we saved the great whales from almost certain extinction through shared global effort, and our power to make a difference as long as we work together. We, he says, are living in one of the most important historical times. And indeed, our times will be regarded as some of the most important in history books hundreds of years from now... Assuming we'll have the liberty of open science.

    A day before the screening, I witnessed something that rhymed with Attenborough's message. The inauguration of Hungary's new democratic government, led by Péter Magyar, took place in Budapest, the first after years of Viktor Orbán's authoritarian rule, which had systematically dismantled judicial independence, press freedom, civil society and committed countless other crimes.

    A few very powerful moments happened in Parliament last Saturday. Hungary's new sovereignty was established through the uncompromising affirmation of democracy. The building of transparent and independent accountability mechanisms was explained, and the perpetrators of the sunsetting kleptocratic regime were literally looked in the eye and brutally shamed before an entire nation and the world. (You should watch the various ceremonies and discussions online if you have the time.) Most importantly though, the new prime minister called on Hungarian citizens to watch their political servants, work towards common goals despite the polarising scars that divide and conquer tactics left on the social fibre, and to look for the best in each other. This triangle of active ethics is essential, and I will come back to it.

    Attenborough's call for collective care for our Mother Earth is the most important message of our lifetime. Hungary's citizens demonstrated the truth of this message and what collective will can do.

    But the real work begins now.

  5. 100 lat David Attenborough.

    Przez dekady był przewodnikiem po świecie natury.
    Najpierw zachwycał pięknem planety, później coraz mocniej ostrzegał przed jej degradacją.

    Jego opowieść stała się kroniką zmian, które sami wywołaliśmy.

    To nie tylko legenda BBC.
    To jeden z najważniejszych świadków naszej epoki.

  7. Young people – they care. They know that this is the world that they’re going to grow up in, that they’re going to spend the rest of their lives in. But, I think it’s more idealistic than that. They actually believe that humanity, human species, has no right to destroy and despoil regardless.”

  8. "For Sir David Attenborough, it was a moment that would shape his childhood – and quite possibly his entire career.
    […]
    "There, perfect in every detail, glinting as though it had just been polished, was a coiled seashell… an object of breathtaking beauty," he recalled in 2009. "And my eyes were the first to see it since its occupant died 200 million years ago.""

  14. "He has always seemed to be there: on classroom screens, on family televisions, in bookcases, in the background of childhood, and then, later, at the centre of why so many of us study the natural world at all."
