David Attenborough is a treasure. He is truly an inspiration.
Daniel very true.
Daniel totally agree
This is gorgeous. I love how even the previous poachers have stopped and are now helping. Truely wonderful
I agree. As Namibian conservationist Garth Owen-Smith said, many poachers are like conservationists - they like being outside in the wild, but unfortunately they just don't know what impact their work has. When they become conservationists, they know all those methods used by poachers so their knowledge of that can be used for good.
Those poachers just care about their profit. they become conservationists for salary, not because they care for the animals.
This makes me feel proud to be a Trinidadian :) thank you locals for helping these precious animals
Why are you proud? Everywhere I see comments like this. Someone from a certain part of the world does something great and all the freeloaders who did nothing are "proud" to be from that country. That's not how credit works. Get up and do things to make yourself proud. Not hating on you, just saying that you can achieve more and do great things too.
@@iLoveTurtlesHaha Thank you. When I see comments like this i think why werent you proud before?
@@iLoveTurtlesHaha Anyone can be proud that people from their country are trying to help an issue, that's not for you to decide. Plus you're assuming they haven't when volunteer work with these animals isn't uncommon. I've done it a few times while I lived in Trinidad. Are you achieving great things by "not hating" on youtube?
If only there were more people like this in the world
people like you!
It's time for you to become next one!
The turtle is like " can i just lay my eggs in PEACE JESUS"
Those people around the turtle are protecting it. Would you rather they wern't there?
Amazing. We still have beautiful people that live on earth.
Yung Afrika David is secretly GOD
We Actually Have Millions of Beautiful People on Earth. Look around you. Namaste ✨♥️✨
@@gaialove8394 Nah most of humans are looters
Excellent job recognizing how local communities are actively involved in protecting the environment! These unsung heroes like Len Peters are on the frontline, and are critical to preserving our fragile ecosystems through education and action.
What an amazing guy
Nice job, Trinidad!

anytime
@@militantone2157 Tobago is irrelevant
@@zionbradshaw357 stfu
@@zionbradshaw357 no it is not. We are one country. U better fucking say "and tobago"
I'm from TrInidad and I must say these turtles are absolutely magnificent!
It’s nice to see a change, I live in the Caribbean as well. My country recently banned the hunting of turtles.
Fun fact: David had a brother named Richard Attenborough.
He played John Hammond in Jurassic Park
Woah I had no idea! That’s so cool.

YESS RIP
And now here in Trinidad we have more than one turtle watching sites where persons bring their families to educate them on the leatherback turtles and how we can help them. It really is a beautiful thing. The last time I went however, we had a major problem with seaweed. It was blocking the turtles from coming on the beach to lay their eggs but they hired tractors to clear areas on the beach to allow them to come. Amazing work. Hope you guys can visit sometime.😄
These are such beautiful creatures
👏👏👏👏 We need more people who think like him, people who are willing to enlighten others to appreciate these wonderful creatures that accompany us through this journey in this beautiful planet 🌍
The power of one man. Amazing.
This man's enthusiasm for education and conservation throughout his 9 decades of life is inspiring.
The other younger man is even more inspirational in his advocacy.
TRINI TO DI BONE!
Trinidad 🇹🇹
HEROES every one! - THANK YOU Len Peters and friends for standing up for the turtles and THANK YOU for educating the next generation on why they matter. Thank you BBC for bringing this story to the world. You are all HEROES for wildlife!
😢😢😢 finally something good to watch after a bad day
kudos!! to this man who dedicated his life for saving these unbelievable creature 👍👍👍👍
i need this on my feed in the morning after all the news from the political space
good things still happen
My dad always reminds us that sea turtles are helpful and grateful creatures. They saved people from drowning in the middle of the ocean a lot of times before along with dolphins.
imagine walking along the beach alone then suddenly encountering a rare Attenborough laying on the sand next to a giant sea turtle
Ingenious. Give them selfish reasons to help the turtles, make them profit from protecting it. Reverse psychology at it's finest.
Well, every single human only does something out of selfishness. We only have selfish reasons to do something. Even being "selfless" is done for selfish reasons because it makes us feel good to do it. With that said, nothing is wrong with doing something for selfish reasons if it benefits someone or the planet. :)
I'm just thankful that sir David is still narrating for this series. We love him and the only person I want my documentary to be narrated !
That's a simple, yet important lesson: we can't just expect other people to follow our thought.. we should give them reasons why it really matters, and if possible, show them how it would benefits them and worth their time..
curi0 Very eloquently stated. I think that's one of the main problems threatening conservation efforts. So many people are so detached from nature - no matter how many documentaries they see or books they read, it's harder for people without the inherent interest in it to care about causes like these because they don't understand how they're connected to the natural world, they don't experience it in their daily lives and thus don't know how these issues can affect them.
Thank you kind sir 🐢
Well done to Len Peter's and his associates. A great man.
Thank you Sir David Attenborough
I can’t resist any video from BBC Earth if Sir David Attenborough is the one narrating it.
I’m from trini and thank you sir for your service.
Preservation of all animals should be international agreement with systems and financial support placed toward achieving this goal.
This man is a HERO.
This is heart-warming, I wish you all the best, my hero in Trinidad!
What an amazing person.
This is beautiful. Especially what he is doing. These leather back turtles are stunning creatures.
That guy is a legend.
A very very good man. Thank you!
Respect to this man, and the BBC!
Bless every living creature on this planet.
What an amazing person. He's a hero. Thank you.
This is such a lovely video , makes me think humanity and the other wonders that live on our planet can have a chance with each other
great job...
You are an amazing person David I'm sure you'll be blessed. Thanks
Thanks to this dude who protects the turtles Salute!!
We must protect the planet. This is our only home for the next 5,000 thousand years.
Len is the real MVP
An amazing human being. We appreciate your efforts
Wow! Nature is beautiful. Thank you so much for teaching me!
Thank goodness for people who care
Proof in the power of 1 voice. If you don't think you can make a difference, you're wrong
"Whoops"
I love watching David Attenborough deal with animal bloopers so quietly.
Salute to you Len Peters 🌍
That's really inspiring!! Hope BBC makes blue planet 2 available soon to everyone!
This man is a testament to the good that humans can become.
Man this Dad is a pretty old guy but he still doing this wonderful work. Awesome guy.
Love you man..!
The first scene almost looked like it was green screened, that turtle is so huge. Incredible.
Amazing what this man has accomplished !
Can't wait for blue planet 2 to come to the USA
God bless you, sir!
Such a beautiful piece.
I remember this time well and sailed in the Carribean in winters of 85,86,87 We even had a guest who bought a turtle from locals that came out to the yacht to sell us a turtle. We then released it back once the men had gone. Well done Len, brave and honest.
Why can't we all be like him? He sees the world how we all should. It's a gift and we are abusing it, taking it for granted. This needs to stop. There shouldn't have to be people protecting the turtles, they should already be safe. We need to act now and make this planet safe again.
respect you sir
Great work man .God bless you.may God help you with this work
Sir David was in Trinidad...damn...wish i would of gotten to meet him....I hope that this inspires us to continue to protect these animals
God bless you.
Simply fantastic..
I am from Trinidad and saw them laying their eggs and it’s a beautiful thing
you made me emotional buddy
This made me tear up
Loved his work
Even poachers converting to conservationists!! Excellent!!
The people who harassed him are/were ignorant of the Leatherbacks' dire situation...
(I posted this comment halfway through the video, sorry.)
Ben Skelly You aren't wrong. I have family from Trinidad and I can say ignorance is common there
@@OmegaPictures318 People everywhere around the world are ignorant of the damage we do to our planet. It's important to keep spreading awareness. :)
Beautiful David Attenborough
Superb. God bless you.
Thank you sir you made my childhood.
I love going to see them every year
If people need to eat, that is the first priority. It is more important than conservation. It's easy for people in the first world, who live in utter excess, to see the situation from their narrow point of view. The best way is truly to give people a better alternative. No one would eat turtle meat over a t-bone steak. They did the right thing here.
I love how he respects the turtles personal space by watching her give birth
Great person... great job...
So encouraging!
A very beautiful animal🐢
amazing work.
This made me tear up
A Turtles place is not a fridge
I wonder what snapped. But never the less, this is pretty fascinating.
Respect
Damm that guy is such a cool dude! Gives me hope in the world again
Big like! Keep going man. Dont surender! As long as we have people like you, humanity have a chance...
Cheers to this people
Amazing. There is hope for us yet.
GREAT WORK TRINI PEEPS
