Honour Sir David Attenborough with a permanent statue.

Why is this important?

Sir David Attenborough has inspired generations of us to care more about the planet. Through decades of broadcasting and advocacy, he has deepened our understanding of the natural world and strengthened our commitment to protecting it.

As he marks his 100th birthday this year, we have an opportunity to recognise his remarkable contribution, by commissioning a permanent public monument in his honour. A lasting tribute to a life dedicated to education, conservation and public service.

Sir David’s home city of London already honours many individuals whose lives have shaped our society for the better, including the women’s vote campaigner Millicent Fawcett and South African President and anti-apartheid activist Nelson Mandela.  For many of us, Sir David’s unique legacy also deserves to be recognised in an enduring way.

By supporting this petition, you can help ensure that future generations are reminded of Sir David’s profound impact and inspired to continue his work. 

Will you join us in calling for this fitting tribute?
