Photo of Sir David Attenborough on a visit to Cambridge Conservation Research Initiative

Sir David Attenborough spoke of how he feels during visits to the Cambridge Conservation Initiative (CCI) when he stopped by the CCI conservation campus at the University of Cambridge this week.

Sir David said of visiting CCI that he felt “an undercurrent of joy” whenever he came to the conservation campus, which is housed in the building bearing his own name.

The campus was opened in 2016 and is the first of its kind, with over 500 conservation professionals and researchers, from 10 different organisations and the University of Cambridge, all collaborating to stop the biodiversity crisis and build more hopeful futures for people and nature.
