On the heels of the premier of the BBC Series Blue Planet II, the National Audubon Society announced that it will honor the show’s host, legendary explorer Sir David Attenborough, as well as environmental justice leader Peggy Shepard and renowned conservation expert Dave Morine at its annual gala on March 1, 2018.
Legendary naturalist, author and pioneer of the nature documentary, Sir David Attenborough, will be presented with the Audubon Medal, one of the highest honors in conservation. The medal recognizes outstanding achievements in conservation and environmental protection and only 53 people have received the medal to date in the National Audubon Society’s 112-year history. Attenborough is being recognized for educating a global audience about wildlife, ecology and conservation for more than 60 years. In that time, he set a new standard for nature programming and captured the imagination of an entire generation with his natural-history series Life on Earth.
