The clip, filmed in 1978 for the landmark BBC series Life on Earth: A Natural History, demonstrates what has become Attenborough's trademark over his 70-year career: the communication of new, surprising and complex phenomena by showing rather than telling. There's no lecture here - just curiosity, mischief and arresting visual impact.

Wild London was co-produced by London Wildlife Trust and Passion Pictures, and executive producer Gaby Bastyra said working with Sir David lived up to all her expectations. "Being a London girl myself, working with him to enable people to realise that there's wildlife everywhere was an absolute dream come true." "He's got such an incredible voice, a voice of authority, the voice of knowledge. He created the genre of wildlife television."

I had rather thought that I would celebrate my 100th birthday quietly, but it seems that many of you have had other ideas. I've been completely overwhelmed by birthday greetings, from preschool groups to care home residents and countless individuals and families of all ages. I simply can't reply to each of you all separately, but I would like to thank you all most sincerely for your kind messages.

Kariba and Julie will live in an expansive natural habitat where they can roam freely, bathe and socialise in compatible groups, said Kate Moore, the managing director of Pangea. That autonomy is really critical but they will also have expert care as well. Elephants are one of the most sentient and intelligent animals on earth and so they have very complex needs.

Roughly 90% of the conflict calls that lead to bear deaths trace back to one thing: unsecured human food. The Lake Tahoe Basin is where that pattern is most visible.

"You're always taught to be extra, extra quiet and careful because they're so sensitive. This is our means of staying healthy and connected to the land and our culture."

Helen Whittaker's vibrant stained glass Paradise window celebrates the quest of the Irish traveller St Brandon, better known as St Brendan, who spent a lifetime searching for an earthly Garden of Eden.

"We started Wild Cities because urban nature must be restored for people, for wildlife, and for the future. A coalition model lets us work at the scale the challenge demands, celebrating communities and helping people and ecosystems become more connected and resilient."

Bats carry a lot of very deadly pathogens like Ebola virus, Nipah, Hendra, coronavirus, and also rabies virus. People are finding more and more bat-borne viruses. When such viruses are transmitted to humans, the results are often fatal so there's a lot of interest in trying to prevent spillover in the first place.

Please do enjoy walking around the site, but just give them some space. We're asking people to remember that these are not pets - they are conservation grazers doing an important job. Jessica Allam, Senior Wilder Grazing Ranger at Kent Wildlife Trust, emphasizes the need for visitors to respect the animals' boundaries and understand their conservation role.

This declaration establishes a much-needed green lung for this part of the borough. Our charity launched this campaign back in January 2021. At that time, we were emerging from Covid lockdown, and people were discovering the wonders of nature and wildlife on their doorstep in the Brent River Park.

From dramatic aquatic encounters to deep caves to fish and amphibians closely guarding their eggs, there's an entire world below the surface that few of us ever really get to see. That's where images like those in the annual Underwater Photographer of the Year (UPY) come in, glimpsing some of the darkest depths and most alluring and fragile ecosystems on the planet.

Wildlife populations are in decline. Recreation sites are crowded and often underfunded. Wildfires are larger, more destructive and harder to control. Climate change is reshaping natural systems, from ocean fisheries to mountain snowpacks, faster than institutions can respond. At the same time, communities are being asked to host new energy projects, transmission lines and mineral development - often without clear processes, adequate resources or trust that decisions are being made in the public interest.

The ranch is located in one of the most remote parts of California. It's a huge property, said Lucy Blake, president of the Northern Sierra Partnership. On the east side, there are large sagebrush flats that climb up into conifer forests and aspen groves. It has a lot of springs. It's very rich in wildlife. When we're out there, we've seen herds of pronghorn antelope and golden eagles. It's very vast and beautiful. A classic Western landscape.

"I feel very lucky to have them on the farm. It's an important thing to try and keep a healthy population of them. They are absolutely beautiful," he said.

Krysten Kellum, a spokesperson with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, said during the investigation officials discovered the Trans had sold 243 tuna and about 3,000 pounds of mackerel in less than a month. Investigators also issued a search warrant and found evidence of prior fishing activity that targeted crab, striped bass, halibut, shark, rockfish, lingcod, sea bass and clams.

Polar Bears International, a non-profit conservation group, said on Wednesday that when they first placed a GPS collar on a female polar bear in the spring, she had one young cub. But when she was spotted with two cubs of roughly the same age last month, they realized they were witnessing an exceedingly rare case of adoption. Female polar bears are really good moms and so they're just primed for looking after and caring for their offspring,

The group said it estimated a population for the southern half of Maine of 3,174 adult loons and 568 chicks. Audubon bases its count on the southern portion of Maine because there are enough bird counters to get a reliable number. The count is more than twice the number when they started counting in 1983, and the count of adults has increased 13% from 10 years ago.
