What's always puzzled me is why, as former BBC senior executive and long-term prominent broadcaster, there has never been an equivalent "Wildlife/conservation Aid", in the same way as Red Nose day, Band Aid and similar fund-raisers.

There have been so many opportunities (for instance) to buy significant areas of land to protect or restore (recently a very large Scottish estate) for which desperate appeals have been made to the limited circle of already-interested parties who are in the loop where acquainting the general public would have achieved so much more.

His worth to the world community is simply beyond price. Though the powers that be haven't listened to him enough, how much further down the road to ruin would the planet be without him?

A total legend. We all need you more than ever Sir David ::wine::
