Your work has opened our eyes to the beauty, complexity, and fragility of our planet. Through your documentaries, writing, and tireless advocacy, you have inspired generations to look more closely, think more deeply, and act more responsibly. Many of our school community first discovered their love of wildlife, science, and conservation through your voice and your stories.

As a school committed to environmental stewardship and the Eco‑Schools programme, we strive to honour your legacy in our own community. Our pupils are engaged in projects that protect biodiversity, reduce waste, and promote sustainable living. Your example reminds us that even small actions, taken together, can help shape a better future for our planet.

Thank you for dedicating your life to education, conservation, and the celebration of nature. We hope you enjoy a wonderful birthday surrounded by warmth, admiration, and the knowledge that your work continues to inspire young people across the UK and around the world.

Best wishes,

The staff and students of Kendrick School, Reading
