Ecological warrior David Attenborough, 94, excited Singaporeans on Thursday (October 15) when he shared a photo of Parkroyal Collection Pickering on his Facebook page with the caption: “This is an urban forest. A green building in Singapore: the first to produce its own electricity with the same waste from the same building. “
Since then, the publication has received more than 1.5k shares.
The Parkroyal Collection Pickering has won numerous awards for its unique concept of a hotel in a garden, including being named one of the 50 most influential tall buildings of the past 50 years by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH).
The hotel is an architectural marvel, encompassing over 15,000 square meters of greenery combining visually appealing vertical gardens with an impressive blue-green façade.
New Attenborough documentary
Attenborough has been in the headlines for his most important work yet – a new Netflix documentary titled ‘David Attenborough: A Life On Our Planet.’ The natural historian recounts his life, as well as the evolutionary history of life on Earth, how humanity as a species has damaged our planet, up to over-industrialization.
In one of her previous Instagram posts, Attenborough shared a glimpse of her new film with a short narration: “Here are my reflections on the moment, half a century ago, when we first experienced our extraordinary home in a whole new way and millions Suddenly we learned an essential truth, the Earth is finite and we must take care of it. “
He added: “I am making this movement and exploring this new form of communication because, as we all know, the world is in trouble.”
“The continents are on fire. The glaciers are melting. Coral reefs are dying. Fish are disappearing from our oceans. The list goes on. “
Attenborough was also recently included in the Guinness World Record for having the fastest time to reach one million Instagram users. The prolific broadcaster even broke actress Jennifer Aniston’s record in October 2019.
