Sir David Attenborough has been crowned TIME’s TV Man of the Year, a tribute to a career that has reshaped how humanity sees the natural world.
For generations, his unmistakable voice and quiet authority have guided audiences through Earth’s most extraordinary landscapes, from the frozen poles to the depths of the oceans. Through landmark series such as Planet Earth and Blue Planet, he has not only revealed the planet’s beauty, but awakened a global sense of responsibility to protect it.
