Sir David Attenborough (94) has been on Instagram since Thursday. That to draw attention to climate change. In no time he already had more than a million followers.

“I’ve been appearing on radio and TV for sixty years, but this is my first time on Instagram. And I’m taking this step and exploring this new form of communication because, as we all know, the world is in danger, ”those are Attenborough’s first words on Instagram. The world-renowned documentary maker wants to use the account to draw attention to global warming. “Continents are on fire, glaciers are melting, coral reefs are dying, the list goes on and on.”
His first Instagram post was viewed almost 5 million times and after a few hours he had already reached the milestone of 1 million followers. And that number is still increasing.
The account is managed by filmmakers Colin Butfield and Jonnie Hughes. They made the new Netflix documentary ‘David Attenborough: A Life On Our Planet’.
