Sir David Attenborough celebrates his 100th birthday on 8 May, marked by podcasts, tributes, and an online birthday card for fans to sign. Broadcasters released a special podcast titled "100 Years on Earth" and scientists honored him by naming a parasitic wasp Attenboroughnculus tau. Evelyn Cheesman is cited as a formative influence on the young Attenborough. The centenary underlines his decades-long role in popularizing natural history and driving global conservation efforts.
