The famous British naturalist David Attenborough joined "Instagram" on Thursday at the age of 94, attracting more than two million followers within a few hours.
The ninetieth scientist said in his first video recording that he posted on his new account on the platform yesterday, Thursday: “Hello!
This is David Attenborough.
I appeared on television and radio 60 years ago, but this is my first appearance on Instagram. ”
"I embark on this new path, which constitutes a new way of communication for me, because the world is in danger, as you all know," he said, speaking of "continents burning, glaciers melting and fish disappearing from our oceans."
The naturalist, who recently released a new documentary warning mankind of the dangers of the great demise of races, hopes that it will reach a wider audience by using the "Instagram" platform, which is very popular, especially among young people.
"Saving our planet has become a communicative challenge," Attenborough wrote in his post.
"During the coming weeks, I will record messages to explain the problems we face and what we can do to solve them," he said in the video.
Atenoborah's accession to "Instagram" was warmly received by network users, as the number of followers of his new account exceeded 2.5 million users as of Friday morning.
