I hope David Attenborough lives forever
Sam Yoo - He will, but the question is where? Heaven or Hell?
Straight to heaven!
that'd be impossible
@@smeatonlighthouse4384 That makes no sense
He lives forever in film.
I find Davids voice very comforting.☺
I always put on one of his nature documentaries whenever I cant sleep
Hhhh lol 😁
Lol I agree , If I can’t sleep I watch one of his documentaries
Me too
when I was in junior high, I often fall a sleep while watching david attenbourgh 😴
Million trees makes Attenborough extremely happy he loves nature so much
You're all talk you wont do it. You would be famous if you did
I hope David Attenborough lives on because his voice is just amazing
There are very few voices that command my attention and Sir Attenborough's voice is no exception.... How relaxing it is and educating you at the same time 👏👏
David is getting old. I hope he never retires
UNTIL HE DIE
I hope he never dies
Furqanuddin Fahad all of us will die eventually
not here man. c'mon.
Mohamed Y oh so he should be a slave for the rest of his life just for you man your self entitled are you. A very selfish person that you are jackass
This man has still devoted his life for nature, which contains me at all. Love him! From Vietnam.
The only thing i need to do is sleep.
His voice is like telling a bed time story. So nice so calm and so old fashion thats why i love it.
God bless this man!
Gerald Snowman I'm sure the illuminati already has
Sir David Attenborough doesn't believe in fairy tales .
@@hammerdon1962 he is not adverse to believing in God. He just doesn’t subscribe to a personal God
God doesn't bless unbelievers and therefore God does not bless this guy. Repent for saying such a heresy.
Deut. 11:26-28 "Behold I set forth in your sight this day a blessing and a curse: [27] A blessing, if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you this day: [28] A curse, if you obey not the commandments of the Lord your God, but revolt from the way which now I shew you, and walk after strange gods which you know not."
Seeing good people like them restores my faith in humanity
India is doing a similar program, and is succeeding....having planted several million trees already.
This is to preserve and renew the RIVERS that become dry when all the trees in the Cautery River were destroyed.
Recreate the conditions that slow evaporation = rivers are renewed.
Thank you to those working on these projects.
When I am finally defeated by some great beast, have this man read the story of my life.
1 million trees in 3 years
Mrbeast: are you challenging me?
Yes. I challenge him to do better. We need everyone to preserve the amazing wildlife we have on this planet.
I love when he is the narrator of documentaries......So soothing 😊😊
Attenborough is really Gold in this business. May Allah bless him with golden health. Amiin.
Cavemen bodybuilders ate all eggs
Damn it freaking prehistoric Easter egg
ROFLLLL
somalia maanta lol
Yaaa Budyyyyyy!!
Very creative explanation lol
Reforesting man is awesome.
Appreciate their effort. It's a great step to save the forest, to save the world, to save the man kind.
We need an Attenborough month every year!!!!
Is there any way to get more information on the guest in this videos conservation work with the rainforests? I'd like to learn more about his efforts and see if I can help in any way.
+Shannon Wells I'd be interested too. How rewarding that work would be...
Shannon Wells watch his video called puffer fish in japan. U can thank me later
Would assume it's something to do with edenprojects.org/madagascar/
@Shannon Wells David said his name. It's Rainer Dolch :)
Many creatures throughout the cosmos are vulnerable to such a demise.
Show me your papers!
3:33 I love that reaction :b
I hope David voice stays preserve his voice is very good and every documentary sounds amazing with his voice in sad he’s getting older 😔
Alex James they will just computer generate his voice. They can already do it
David is a national tresure. Love the man and all he represents that is good in a human. He should be ETERNAL THERE FOR GENERATIONS TO LISTEN TO HIS MODEST WISE MAN's SOFTLY SPOKEN KNOWLEDGE.
He's like the documentary version of Morgan Freeman
Thank you for doing this. I am also planning to do something like this in our suburban areas. This inspired me.
Love his narrating 😍
Love you Attenborough sir
David Attenborough is a world treasure.
i love his voice so much...
David could be narrating the final moments of earth and somehow I would be completely comfortable.
Indeed 😊
David is an amazing fellow
I have heard his familiar voice all my life. So 👏
only British voice I never get tired listening to
Absolutely love Sir David, God bless you forever.
RG - Sure he doesn't believe in God, so how can God bless him?
Man Attenborough is quite obsessed with this bird
"A million tree in three years of planting.. that's a lot of trees"
- David Attenbourough
Attenborough is a treasure to mankind
so it went egg-stinct?
LOL
Creative comedy
Egg-sactly.
Egg selent joke
i didn't get it, can you eggsplain ?
He’s a god among man
If you watch this at 0.5 speed it sounds like a old guy who has lunched very well :D Minced!
LOL
Very interesting. Like this
Absolutely fantastic voice waww
David 😻
That egg is so big!
Great job boy
I want to be just like David Attenborough!!
Why does David Attenborough continue to tell us Dreamtime stories in the year 2020?!
Without add or visitor advertiser only recommended thanks
faith restored.
David attenbourgh im your biggest fan
Very important observation in what David says.." if you want to preserve a species, you must conserve the whole community of plant and animals" Our species preservation approach may be futile if we don't follow this advice
Unfortunately, it might be a little too late for many species.
Planting is a great job
Nice Zither music.
An international treasure
The elephant bird is among the species I would like they cloned back to our world. It wasn't fair they went extinct and deserves to live more longer!
Agreed. They would still exist if not for human ignorance and arrogance, and they were a vital part of the ecosystem.
wow
The elephant bird may be gone but manbearpig is still out there somewhere.
Planting trees has to be one of the most satisfying things you can do.
Especially when you grew it from the pit of a peach by accident, tried to kill it each year, then figured "fuck it I guess the tree pays rent now" after it grew back from a stump for the third or 4th time. And then after years of just hanging out with this ugly tree that decided he lives he now, it finally gets old enough to flower, and suddenly my neighbor who moved in 1 year ago thinks he has a peach tree. Nawh.
This man's voice,accent and pronunciation feels like he is putting butter on bread.makes me hungry
In Pakistan one Province "Khyber Pukhtunkhwa" claim that they have planted around 1 billion trees in last three year.. I think you should come and visit the sites and find the authenticity of the Claim.. #AttenboroughWeek
Cool
elephant bird and american bison in yellowstone park
Please can all the scientists get to work on reversing David’s ageing process, humanity can’t afford to loose him
Hmm, may have something todo with Ozzy Emu, and the statue in Go.Ma(r)
They must of had serious egg cups
This guy always sitting in the most random places lol
A million in 3 years!!!
At 0:04 I can Photoshop David on the beach whith ladys in the backround.
Sounds like the voice off little big planet
That's a lot of fish!
2:58 small baby tree take a very long time to grow to adult size and at the rate of tree cutting, it wont be enough to help the forest.
Sounds like they were egg-ecuted.
Dope.......
You meant egg-secuted. What you did sounds like egg-ycuted
maybe a lisp
NO
0:25 "And an enraged Elephant bird, many size of an ostrich, must have been a truly formidable opponent."
When he scraped those eggshells together it honestly sounded like he was cocking a gun and seemed for a second in my mind he was gonna say "which is why we invented Glocks".
It was almost a foot bigger than ostrich
To get to the other side!
His Voice so reminds me of Pooh Bear
Reiner the non English conservationalis* (not conversationalists, BBC!!!) speaks better English than 90% of the British population. Bravo, Reiner.
loll so much egg puns
i hope we can clone it because it would be just like seeing a utah raptor in real life just with a beak that thing was monstrous
Where are these eggshells in Madagascar
Well considering Moa's were hunted to extinction (and in a bloody short period) and they were a lot larger than Ostriches, I see no reason an Elephant Bird could not be. And David Attenborough is very aware of what happened to the Moas.
And the Haast Eagle
Interesting.. as I sit here eating a egg sandwich I made xD
Bring the elephant bird back! As long as it won’t cause anything terrible
They need to bring back the elephant bird back from extinction
Are those actual elephant bird eggshells? If so where the hell is he?
Whoever wrote the description went with conversationalists over conservationists 🙄🤦♂️
Do someone know if there is an idiom or phrase in english with the word "Great Elephant Bird" or some kind of it? I'm from Germany and like to know that. Thank you :)
Please someone can you explain why there is millions of egg shells everywhere in this spot hes at?? I mean thats allot of elephant bird egg shells all over??
its the face of the voice i hear.. lol
It was too big to fly. LOL
Send Attenborough to Ecosia xD
I wish this guy narrate my life. Lol
He sounds like the narrator of Pocoyo
With deforestation raising higher and higher day after day, not everyone has realized this, unfortunately. Damn humans.
2:32 is that a starfruit?
Mike Ramos yes
We can bring the elephant bird back and we will!
If it weren't for humans a lot of animal would still be alive
Sounds like cavemen thought the birds came before eggs
Planting a million trees in three years wouldn't be a lot if we consider the number of trees which are cut, maybe a million every month or maybe a million a quarter!!
lol we really are our own worst enemy
Is that desert real ?
+amilom007 No, I'ts a greenscreen
Nope it’s a sand box 🙄
amilom007 obviously
