He said that for a very long time people have viewed the natural world in opposition to the urban world. "It is not, we are all one world," he said, adding that global leaders are beginning to see that everything we do has implications. He said: "That fundamental, beautiful fact is now being recognised."
In his interview with the Duke of Cambridge, Sir David said it was "difficult to overstate" the climate change crisis. He added: "We are now so numerous, so powerful, so all pervasive, the mechanisms we have for destruction are so wholesale and so frightening that we can exterminate whole ecosystems without even noticing it. We have now to be really aware of the dangers that we are doing. And we already know that of course the plastics problem in the seas is wreaking appalling damage on marine life - the extent of which we don't yet fully know."
