Sir David Attenborough is perhaps the most renowned, respected living naturalist we have today. His documentaries have inspired millions to care more about the natural world. In spite of that, or perhaps because of it, he knows better than anyone that even the best documentary can only move people so far. Sometimes, what you need is to be in the presence of the animals themselves. His very generous gift to the Zoological Society of London is proof of that. It's also a fitting endorsement of one of the world's first scientifically-run zoological parks (and the first that ever even used the name "zoo") by one of the most celebrated living Britons... and a fitting encouragement for any other celebrities that may want to follow his example.
