For more than six decades now, David Attenborough has been the voice of natural history programs around the world. His contribution towards broadcasting and wildlife film-making are unparalleled. His penchant for taking on new projects and turning them into universally acclaimed broadcasts is what makes him a legend in his field. Even his most vehement critics cite his programs as the epitome of public service broadcasting. He is the first known broadcaster to have treated this subject with a great deal of sincerity. He researched the latest discoveries, gained the trust of the scientific community, introduced innovative shots, focused on events, and consciously restricted his on-screen presence. Such is the impact of his wildlife series that he has been hailed as ‘the great communicator’ and ‘the peerless educator.’ However, he has received criticism for presenting a very false picture of idyllic wilderness, which draws the attention away from the threat of encroachment that humans pose on wild flora and fauna. He cites overpopulation and creationism as primary causes for environmental problems and the decline of wild life diversity.
