Okay people of this thread you gotta just accept the fact that activism is always gonna be at the end. Like I don’t intend for this to insult anyone’s intelligence, I promise, but you gotta understand that it’s matter of love. Spend enough time in a headspace in which funky lizards and ugly insects and smelly lil rats are your companions both physically and mentally and these things matter to you in ways that approach your love for people, it’s just the truth of it. I’m surprised Attenborough docs aren’t all activism and calls to action at this point, it’s so frightening and overwhelming that I myself have drifted away from field research because in my cowardice I just couldn’t bear to get more attached.

But yeah sadly he’s too old (British) to be able to summon anything like a cohesive call to action, which sucks ass
