l watched the A Perfect Planet documentary by David Attenborough and l found it acutely depressing. It made me think to myself how dare we be so arrogant as to think we are above all other species? How dare we nearly wipe them all out to continue our sordid way of life, with wars and polluting the planet - running it as a business instead of a living organism And how dare we go ripping it off, leaving nothing for future generations People say to me do l want to live a long life? Do l hell. l don’t want to see the world lose its species and end up with more wars. Generally l am an optimist, l hate to be a pessimist. l love wildlife, nature and children. But we should think about the sort of world our children are coming into.

A slow year for people turned out to be a splendid one for animals … and for people filming animals.
For the second straight year, Earth Day (April 22) will lack its usual commotion. Community events have been sidelined during the pandemic.
But this has been a strong year for nature and filmmakers. And streaming networks are jumping in.
One (Discovery+) declared this Earth Month, with a new film each Thursday. Another (Apple TV+) added three ambitious projects on Friday (April 16). And on Earth Day, Disney+ debuts “Secrets of the Whales,” a spectacular, three-year, four-part project.
