Wild Places

Wild Places traces the life of naturalist and broadcaster David Attenborough, from a boy collecting fossils and newts near his English home to the documentarian whose seven decades of nature films brought the wonders of the natural world into millions of living rooms. As his career unfolded, David watched the wild places he loved shrink, and the book becomes a clarion call for young readers to help protect them. This is a powerful choice for students because it turns one person's lifetime into a firsthand lesson in how quickly our planet has changed.
