Sir David was elected as a Corresponding Member of the Academy in 2007 for his pioneering contributions to environmental research, science education and communication. However, his extensive commitments have until now prevented him from taking the final step of signing the Academy鈥檚 Charter Book.

鈥淎ustralian fauna and flora feature prominently in many of his documentaries; for example, his Life of Mammals was made in collaboration with research scientists in Australia,鈥� said Academy President Professor Suzanne Cory.
鈥淲e are delighted that Sir David Attenborough will sign the Charter Book, which holds the signatures of every Fellow and Corresponding Member of the Academy.鈥�
