The One Battle After Another star continued, "For as long as I can remember, Sir David has opened windows into the natural world, bringing moments of wonder, beauty, and discovery into homes across the globe and inspiring generations to fall in love with life on Earth. Through his voice, many of us first came to witness the astonishing richness of biodiversity — and to understand both its fragility and its resilience."
DiCaprio also recalled Attenborough’s deeply personal account in reshaping global awareness, in the author’s documentary, David Attenborough: A Life on Our Planet, which he released in 2020.
He concluded his birthday tribute as he thanked David, "For a lifetime dedicated to protecting our planet."
