Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

Give Sir David Attenborough the recognition he truly deserves his efforts to educate the general public on the damage we are causing to the world, his work to save the natural world and being an all round great guy.

Sir David Attenborough has tirelessly worked over many years to bring a better level of harmony between humans and the natural world, more so than possibly anyone has before. His work is recognised by many, across all demographics and you'll be hard pushed to not agree the work he does is of upmost importance. Even in his later years, he is spending all his energy, trying to save the world. Put him on the £50 note and help promote the work he is doing and show it will never be forgotten
