We must honor David Attenborough with a Nobel Prize for his outstanding work.

Why David Attenborough?

For me it started with his book “Life on Earth” (Attenborough 1979).

Here he deals with life on Earth as events within the framework of a year. (One day stands here for 10 million years)

So go ahead listen to this:

In this comparison, algae and primitive sea plants appear in mid-August.

The first fish swims in the third week of November.

In mid-December, the lizard crawls up the beach.

Humans do not appear until late in the evening on 31th December, according to Attenborough.

We are born and can reach the sky. The human body blending with nature.

This comparison fascinated me enormously and gave me a deep sense of responsibility not to ruin the New Year’s eve of life on earth. From this time on, all his works and programs have inspired and fascinated me!

And to add to his picture where every day is 10 million years, at New Year’s Eve we are supposed to be thankful for the year that has passed, and celebrate this great miracle of life!

In my opinion we are still here now on New Years Eve, and Sir Attenborough’s films, videos and readable documentation, he tells us to live in peace with all our fellow creatures, plants and trees. This is both to secure the success of this remarkable “evening”, and the next year to come.

Conclusion:

Sir David Attenborough is a natural candidate to either the Nobel Prize in Biology, or the Nobel Peace Prize.
