Sir David Frederick Attenborough (born 8 May 1926) is a British broadcaster, biologist, natural historian, and writer. He is best known for writing and presenting, in conjunction with the BBC Studios Natural History Unit, the nine nature documentary series forming the Life collection, a comprehensive survey of animal and plant life on Earth.

Attenborough was a senior manager at the BBC, having served as controller of BBC Two and director of programming for BBC Television in the 1960s and 1970s. First becoming prominent as host of Zoo Quest in 1954, his filmography as writer, presenter and narrator has spanned eight decades; it includes Natural World, Wildlife on One, the Planet Earth franchise, The Blue Planet and its sequel. He is the only person to have won BAFTA Awards in black and white, color, high-definition, 3D and 4K resolution. Over his life he has collected dozens of honorary degrees and awards, including three Emmy Awards for Outstanding Narration.

While Attenborough's earlier work focused primarily on the wonders of the natural world, his later work has been more vocal in support of environmental causes. He has advocated for restoring planetary biodiversity, limiting population growth, switching to renewable energy, mitigating climate change, reducing meat consumption, and setting aside more areas for natural preservation. On his broadcasting and passion for nature, NPR stated Attenborough "roamed the globe and shared his discoveries and enthusiasms with his patented semi-whisper way of narrating". He is widely considered a national treasure in the UK, although he himself does not embrace the term.

Cheez that’s actually heathy…and yummy.

Cheezy sauce in blender; Chickpeas (can) /nutritional yeast/mustard powder/onion and garlic powder/chili powder/smoked paprika/turmeric.

Cooked chorizo then added the sauce, slowly stirring and thickening, blend with cooked noodles, tossed pank bread crumbs on top and baked for 15 minutes or so.

Yum! Vegan comfort food because tonight it feels that way.

This is Buddy. He is the face of a system designed to harden hearts.

Buddy was a project for a "terminal show" at the Austin Rodeo, one day away from slaughter.

In these events, animals are judged on quality and then mandatorily sent to slaughter. It conditions children to view living beings as products, forcing them to betray the animals they’ve spent months caring for.

But Buddy’s student fought back.

“I just couldn’t give him up. I feel like it’s really sad just leaving him there...” she said.

The Vega family surrendered Buddy to Rowdy Girl Sanctuary just one day before his ex*****on. The experience changed them- the student has stopped eating meat, and they will never participate in FFA livestock shows again.

Through our Families Choosing Compassion program, we are breaking this cycle of conditioning by providing safe, lifelong sanctuary placement when possible, resources and referrals when we can’t accept the animal ourselves and ongoing emotional support for
families and students.

BE BUDDY'S HERO. ❤️💪 Sanctuary care is expensive. Farmed animals often have special medical needs due to selective breeding. Tap https://buff.ly/ynz0aUM to Virtually Adopt Buddy. 🔗

I love this quote. I love this woman who used to light up the screen. Why are we losing so many of our animal rights heroes right now? Honestly, I didn’t know how much Diane Keaton supported and gave to animal rights causes. I am so blown away and grateful to learn of her work now. The empathy that allowed her to understand her characters was the same empathy that allowed her to understand the souls of animals. Her final Instagram post was of her dog.

Aside from being a vegetarian, Diane endorsed the Big Cat Public Safety Act, which restricts private ownership and public contact with big cats and supported legislation for stricter safety regulations for entertainment industry animals and wildlife protections. Keaton was a major spokesperson and board member for the Helen Woodward Animal Center, where she spent years promoting pet adoption. In 2012 she was in a movie where she rescues a dog from the side of a highway and then in 2016 she actually rescued a dog that had run onto a freeway!

Diane, thank you so much for giving us your art form and lending your light and compassion to this world. I will never forget your sensitivity and kindness. I will continue our work at Rowdy Girl in your honor and in honor of all of our animal rights activists past and present.

With love and admiration, Renee. ❤️
