Human beings, because we're so clever, have removed every single one of those population limiting factors... So nothing controls our increase in numbers except our own wish. Since I first started making television programs, the population of the world has increased three times. That's an extraordinary notion. Can it increase four times? Can it increase five times? The Earth is a finite size. So a point will eventually come when we run out of food, when we run out of space and when we will have destroyed most of the natural world. So ought we to do something about it before that happens?

David AttenboroughI'm not an animal lover if that means you think things are nice if you can pat them, but I am intoxicated by animals.
David AttenboroughWe keep putting on programmes about famine in Ethiopia; thatโs whatโs happening. Too many people there. They canโt support themselves โ and itโs not an inhuman thing to say. Itโs the case. Until humanity manages to sort itself out and get a coordinated view about the planet itโs going to get worse and worse.
