“With survival comes a duty: to tell the story.” – Atef Abu Saif In October 2023, Atef Abu Saif arrived in Gaza as a government minister. Within weeks, he was living in a tent in a refugee camp. His new book, Don’t Look Left: A Diary of Genocide, captures 84 harrowing days of war, fear, and loss.

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉 Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace. You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

This photograph captures Sir David Attenborough seated outdoors on the rugged terrain of Skomer Island. Behind him, the ocean and coastal cliffs form a scenic backdrop under a clear sky. Sir David, dressed in a khaki jacket and light trousers, looks towards the camera with a gentle expression, exuding a sense of warmth, calm, and wisdom. Around him, puffins can be seen flying and perched on the rocky ground, illuminated in rays of golden sunlight as the sun sets behind the cliffs.
