Attenborough marks 100th birthday

The centenary of the world's most authoritative voice on nature is being celebrated with a 90-minute live event at the Royal Albert Hall.

Scientists have honored the occasion by naming a newly discovered genus of parasitic wasp after him, adding to the long list of species that bear his name.

Attenborough's career has spanned the entire history of television, from the earliest black-and-white broadcasts to modern 4K immersive documentaries.

His message of environmental conservation continues to inspire a new generation of activists and researchers worldwide.
