Commemorating 100 Years of Sir David Attenborough’s Enduring Legacy.

I grew up in Nepal, surrounded by some of the world’s most breath-taking natural landscapes—from the Himalayas to rich forests filled with wildlife. These places are not just beautiful; they are part of people’s daily lives, culture, and survival. But today, they are under threat from climate change, melting glaciers, deforestation, and loss of biodiversity.

Watching Sir David Attenborough’s work helped me understand that these challenges are not isolated—they are part of a global crisis that connects countries like Nepal and the UK. His storytelling has shown how fragile ecosystems are, from mountain regions to oceans, and why protecting them matters to all of us.

Now living in the UK, I see how his voice has influenced awareness and action worldwide. But awareness must lead to continued leadership. If we fail to recognise and support those working to protect nature—especially in vulnerable regions like Nepal—we risk losing not only wildlife, but entire ways of life.

Establishing an annual award in his honour would highlight and support environmental leaders across the globe, including those working in regions most affected by climate change. It would ensure that his legacy continues to inspire not just admiration, but real, lasting action for our planet.
