For nearly two decades, David Shukman has been reporting from the frontlines of environmental change; he has camped on the Greenland ice sheet and witnessed the melting of the glaciers. He has climbed into the canopy of the Amazon rainforest and seen the terrible felling of the trees. But he has also met some really inspirational people along the way, and one in particular stands out, Sir David Attenborough. In this episode of 5 Minutes On, and as David Shukman's stint as the BBC's Science Editor draws to a close, he reflects on the conversations he has had with Sir David over the years.
