The fact that nature can and will completely reclaim the Earth in just a few decades of our absence is deeply comforting.
We’ve already seen examples of this from our lowered activity during COVID. Dolphins and Fish swimming in the canals of Venice, and cities in India that now enjoy breathtaking views of the Himalayas due to less smog in the sky
Except for the fact that in most places, non-native invasive species will be the ones to reclaim the spaces.
It's somewhat comforting.
Only where there is moisture.
@@bentleyboy72 here in New Zealand most “wild” areas have no native plants at all, it’s mostly Broome, gorse, blackberry, pine etc. because NZ plants evolved to be slow growing compared to European or American plants.
The sight of abandoned, ruined and destroyed industrial architecture is a lot more beautiful than it sounds. Is anybody else as mesmerized as I am?
I love such places ..:)
Yes, I love the ruins aesthetic
It'd be totally creepy at night. The place of horror stories.
@@chrisl9934 that's how stories were made in the olden times.
yes, go urban exploring and witness it irl. Its fun
I could listen to that man talk about nature and animals all day long
And all night!!
@@buffiechubbuck4850 all life
All eternity
Wish he have a long life
Totally agree on that! 👍
One of the prettiest sights seeing plants overrun abandon buildings.
Sir David Attenborough, the music, the cinematography-impeccable ✨
True'
knw the music?
@Ketcchup kindly let me knw once it get released.
@@Doomprofessor yea must not be released yet i search n search
Hopefully they release it as a complete package. I'll post here as well in case someone comments here once the soundtrack gets released.
I can’t believe this man is almost 96 and still making movies about nature. It is incredible. I wish he would never stop that. He is a world treasure. He knows and has seen nature more than anyone in history of the world
96 WOW
He stopped? The wording's a bit weird here.
@@ethanotoroculus1060 thx for hint, now looks better 😊
@@mirshodnarzullaev3774 Of course! ^^
He probably is and always was active. Inactivity is a real killer when you get up in age.
Sir Attenborough's narration along with this beautiful musical piece....PURE GOLD! 😄😄
Exactly what l was thinking! 👍
I hope this man will live for another 100 years.And this planet will be saved ...
Planet will survive, don't worry. I would be more worried about our own species, humans. We don't survive if we destroy our only home in the universe. Remember, 99% of the species ever lived on this planet have gone exctinct. Keeping that in mind, our number one priority should be to keep the planet liveable for us and stop arguing about who gets to own land here.
@@Bruh-jr2ep Yep. Once humans are wiped out, some other creature will occupy the niche left wide open. Life goes on.
This reminds me of the part where after disaster Chernobyl was explained in the series Our Planet, where David Attenborough talks about the resilience of our planet Earth..
Exactly👍🏼👍🏼
It's Chornobyl. But yes, it's indeed almost renewed itself.
@@katarzynaoczeretna8355 Chernobyl is the Romanization of the Russian spelling of the town and is generally used in English to refer to the nuclear accident. Chornobyl is the Romanization of the Ukrainian spelling and is the current standard in English for the town itself
@@Shreded295 It has been the standard, but if the Ukrainians think we should change that, it should be their call.
And no doubt the same for Fukushima
This man is as old as my late great grandmother and he's still going strong. This video gives us hope that nature can maybe rebuild on the mess created by mankind on earth.
It’s really no question. The Earth has experienced five mass extinctions and each time, life found a way. If we really manage to screw up the world, like through nukes or whatever, nature will still rebuild give or take a few hundred thousand years. We just won’t be there to watch it recover.
Nature will rebuild our mess, there’s a fungus which can eat plastic all done without a science lab
I beleive he holds the record for the most widely travelled man ever.
Every year Sir David's world becomes a bit smaller--I don't think we'll be seeing him on any more African safaris or polar expeditions--yet he keeps finding new little corners there to fascinate and delight in. Would that we could all age so gracefully.
idk hes seen so much even if he lost most his memory His whole world would still seem MUCH bigger than ours.
These few recent years are impacted by the pandemic and are outliers of an otherwise adventurous documentary lifecycle of Attenborough.
He's done it all. He's been everywhere, hes seen it 100 times over. Why would he want to go on a safari aged 96? Your remark is facile and pointless.
@@bingdinggold1877 Yes, but he's clearly not going to live just for his memories, even if his present is far more circumscribed than his past. We should all do that.
@@hunterluxton5976 Hmmm......and your reply just shows how much depth of character you lack......🙄
Every night I play one of David Attenborough's documentaries so I to go to sleep. There is no more soothing voice in the world to me. He blocks out the thoughts that invade the mind when we close our eyes. I don't believe there is one show he has done that isn't worth while. He is a brilliant man and I just wanted to appreciate him for a moment here!
Wow, those timelapses of the plants regrowing right after being ripped out were incredible! As an urban explorer, I've always been fascinated by our abandoned past and how quick nature is to reclaim it!
Yeah. It's like cities exist and
plants: *it's free real estate*
Only where there is moisture.
“As an urban explorer” 😂😂😂
@@MCohen28 Urban exploring is the term for exploration of abandoned places, it's a real hobby. 😅
@@creatureconnor so what’s your best paranormal story eh?
This makes me smile
Sir David Attenborough - I Love You - 😍😍
you cant get enough from Sir David Attenborough
love you Sir David Attenborough, thank you for caring about our Earth for so many years.
I love the BBC all because of HIM! You’ve literally made my life more worthwhile academically, spiritually, mentally and emotionally. Thanks and good health to you Sir!
I cant believe he is 95 and still bringing us closer to nature
It’s amazing to see how something most people don’t even think about grow so greatly when left to itself
Plants at home, sheltered and cared for: "The humidity is too low. Humidity is too high." *dies*
Plants on the streets: "I must dominate the planet!"
Well the plants you grow at home probably aren't the same plants that grows in your backyard. With that in mind it is quite astounding that you can journey a plant species half way across the world and it's still able to live in a completely unnatural environment.
The one I got in my house a random guy who looks like he was wanted sold me the plant for 5.99 and said never let it in daylight and it's in my basement I call it dinosaurs plant becuase It has a mouth and is constantly killing spiders so I keep it it's also really nice it may bite at first but once It penetrates your skin it acts docile around you
@@bamboozledpotat3784 😂what
its either that or bitches grow realy really fast and you need a bigger plant pot
@@kR-qj7rw LOL yeah, my potted hedychium is like already crawling out of the pot like Chthulu with tentacles all over.
This man could read a Phone book and I would feel calmer and more informed.
😁
Sir i want you to do what you are doing for another 100 years ❤️
BBC never fails to amaze me with their time lapses 😍
I love how gently and persistent is nature at claiming it's territory back.
Attenborough is a living Legend! Nobody else has done so much to spread knowledge of the natural world and over such a large period of time
Just imagine what his carbon footprint has been and how many foreign materials him and his crew introduced to pristine wild areas. Him and his crew have done more to harm the environment than most can ever dream of.
@@dankyjoker “him and his crew” dead give away you’re 11 years old. Keep reaching you little punk.
@@stephaniecoomey2356 ok, but my point stands even more so because you are doing what all shite people do, attack language and walk away thinking you're smart and have won any sort of argument. Or are you saying that this old guy flies around like superman not using fossil fuels and private jets and boats and SUV's and 4x4s to get where they are going to film wildlife for a profit?
@@dankyjoker I can’t say anything on this left wing joke of a website, and you have the gore to say I attack language, lol.
All the shots you’re talking about are filmed using robotics which are sent to film crews that are based in the regions they’re going to film.
All the shots you think are camera men up close and personal are miniature drones or…
STUDIO SET UPS - most of what you’re seeing is shot in LA in studios designed to look like the location they’re going to sometimes only as big as a shoe box.
Danky joker lmao. Keep righteous dude ✌️
@@stephaniecoomey2356 cool bro, love you too
Sir David Attenborough isn't just a uk tressur he is a world treasure. and he is one of my childhood heros/idols.
Beautiful and how the ugly broken down structures are beautiful once again ...It reminds me of the book Day of the Triffids .Nature will always survive ..Sensational video with the finest guide .Thank you Sir David :)
I really love this channel and I just want to say ... THANK YOU FOR EVERY VIDEO ❤
We all love sir Attenborough and I hope with all my might his teachings live for eternity, our childrens children need it
We need to enjoy David’s narration while we still have him. He’s a treasure and will be missed when he’s gone!
The weight of everyday life feels too much to bear for me sometimes. But I have found relief in nature. Getting off work and social life to simply take a stroll in the botanic garden just outside of the city becomes my moment of solitude and peace. Just sitting on the bench surounded by trees and shrubs, listening to the chirping of birds and insects, I can get intimate and start a meaningful conversation with myself. Such a wondrous time.
I love love his voice , it’s perfect for this documentaries!! ✨😩✨
That curbside time-lapse with panning was amazing. Super impressed by the meticulous daily work of moving the camera a tiny little bit every day so it smoothly pans once sped up.
It's comforting knowing that when we're gone, the world will return to beauty.
Sir David Attenborough has joined the war against plants
On the side of the plants
I love the view of overgrown plants taking over human made structures. It's lovely and peaceful.
I went to visit Chernobyl and Pripyat a couple of years ago and it was the most incredible thing I have ever done. It was like the buildings in this video x1000; an entire city reclaimed by nature with tower blocks covered in vines and entire buildings barely visible through all the trees. I got to see exactly what earth will be like in a few decades time if all humans suddenly disappeared.
I immediately thought of Chernobyl
0:57 YOO the plants be vibing!
Walking through woods you find some old abandoned cemeteries and horse barns, stables and steps. Houses and buildings long reclaimed. It's fun exploring
And so the Earth was in peace, knowing Sir David Attenborough is there to showcase her spirit and beauty...
What a fabulous national asset the BBC is
Very true. True virtues and character conquer all so are plants, shrubs and trees. Once the roots are deeply grounded, nobody can shake a character so is the case of a tree.
Very well-stated. That's exactly we need from the mother nature. Thank you Sir David Attenborough.
As an artist, this is my favorite thing in the world. The sight of nature taking over buildings or a city is just cool to me.
Its hard to understand that this man is 95! Most iconic voice for nature programs there will ever be.
Finally a face to this beautiful voice! And what pictures... amazing
If anyone deserves the gift of immortality it is without a doubt Sir David Attenborough
I really need to sit and watch this I don’t think there is any David Attenborough program that I haven’t watched! I remember watching him on a Sunday as a child!
The timelapses are just beautiful
Anything you can photograph, tour, or just talk with David Attenborough please do! He is one of the true National Treasures of England , and gift to the whole world…
Just Beautiful
The lovely, evocative music really adds to this scene.
There is no one born yet who is as good as sir David Attenborough when it comes to narration !!
David Attenborough makes the best animal/plant videos of all time. I’ve also bought some of his documentation series (perfect planet)
I like the greenery among the decaying buildings, Me I think it's beautiful 😃
Happy Birthday Sir David Attenborough ❤️❤️
amazing short vid. with very beautiful music and Sir Attenborough, Thanks! Love it
Hi sir i am big fan yours narrated all videos
The music is just incredible, takes it to a whole new level
Such decadence I think. Hauntingly beautiful 💚
Best channel on CZcams. 10/10. Great work always!
And this is why hundreds if not thousands of cities and towns are unseen by todays society in Peru and Brazil and Mexico. They have had thousands of years of plant growth to reclaim and hide them under dense foliage. If we could only see through it all the wonders would astound.
What a beautiful place, neglected but left to the plants. How special.
This man is the reason why I took an interest in the natural world at such a young age.
Jeez. I have so much respect for this man.
When it comes to documentary, no one beats BBC.
David's soothing voice, I can never get tired of listening to him, love this guy's passion.
Beautiful. Just watching the greenery grow calms my heart
What a wonderful place to sit alone.......... 🕊
These are the best documentaries in the world, the music is amazing, David Attenborough is the most wonderful man in the world, and the people who film it are fantastic
This is really heartwarming. With the winters being so dark and long in the North, I forget how green and full of life everything will become in the coming months.
Sir David Attenborough is a treasure of our time. Beautiful video BBC.
I never thought about it before
But so much effort must go into keeping plants off our streets
idk why, but i shed a tear from this..
Thank you Sir Attenborough!
I love this! Nature is unstoppable!
After almost half a billion years on planet Earth, it has become some sort of habit for plants to take over... Even I would also pee my pants like David in awe!
This is literally the start of Dr. Stone. That anime is so beautiful and mysterious.
The general plot of it is that the entire world is somehow bathed in a green light that petrified everyone on Earth turning them into living statues, including the Main Character who is a brilliant high school scientist. He breaks out of his stoned confines after a few thousand years, finding that mother nature has COMPLETELY reclaimed the world, he works towards restoring civilization through the power of science.
It has a LOT of breath taking scenes, intriguing plot, and inspiring milestones the characters will acheive as they progress. Watch it guys, you won't regret it.
Coming from Ohio in the dead of winter with crippling depression, I can’t wait for spring/summer!
The days are getting longer. In our trip around the sun we are heading closer to spring and summer. I just love that idea. Be strong and visualise yourself outside in the warm sun. Love from a very breezy 🇬🇧
@@elss8717 🙏🏼 much appreciated, can’t wait for warm summer days on my motorcycle with my knees in the breeze! 🏍
@@thevtadventure1062 That sounds wonderful!
(Sir David) thas the reason I see every documentary of animals or anything, the voice make me go thru every single second of the video... 👍👌
Long live Sri David Attenborough 🌱🌱🌱
His voice with that music is so mesmerising sir David is so legendary person ...
So so beautiful. Really wish this video was longer than 4 mins
I love the irony of the plants taking over the place that used to make the tools that at one point were used to destroy them haha. Great!
Attenborough is a world treasure.
Attenborough… mesmerizing
Breathtaking
The music was perfect for the Video and gave me goose bumps ! Piano recurring theme is beautiful and when the rest of the instruments join in , Its a done deal !!
One of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever listened to !
The first 20 seconds is what's called master Cinematography & ofcourse Sir Attenborough is Evergreen 🔥🔥
Plants and insects are my favourite bbc earth topics
Im glad they showed this.
Can’t explain how good this guy is and how calming I could watch this everyday
Simple man, simple presentation, huge impact. Thank you Sir.
god bless attenbourg more happy years he's legend
Mesmerizing
Thank you Sir David for a lifetime of sharing your knowledge of nature with the masses.
That's a man who loves what he does.
Although an approximately four-minute video, but the effort that has gone into it is unmatchable. The brilliant output is a testimony of the same unparalleled effort.
Life always find its way.
He deserves the title Sir 💝
