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.

    What a beautiful place, neglected but left to the plants. How special.

    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!

    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.

    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.
