Some may know him from his 11th Hour Documentary, others know him as the host of the CBC TV program The Nature of Things. A Canadian scientist, environmentalist, and broadcaster, David Suzuki is a world leader in sustainable ecology. He is best recognized for his successful efforts to educate the public about climate change and the environment.

In 1936, David Suzuki was born. His contributions would work to help Canadian Society move towards and greener movement and help Canada get on track to become a global environmental leader.

Unless we are willing to encourage our children to reconnect with and appreciate the natural world, we can’t expect them to help protect and care for it.

David Suzuki is a renowned geneticist who was born in Vancouver, BC. He has a Ph. D in Zoology and is currently a professor at the University of British Columbia (UBC). Nature and the environment have been of interest to him since he was a young boy. He credits his passion for this area of study to his Father as he and his dad often spent time outdoors.

[My Dad] took me camping and fishing and instilled in me a love of nature and the outdoors.

His work in assisting and engaging Canadians to adopt more sustainable lifestyles has certainly caught global attention. Without his efforts, who knows how many Canadian families may not have the resources to make educated choices about living “greener”?

Whatever the case is, I think we can all agree that David Suzuki is a hero and very much invaluable to our Canadian Society. May we forever remember the mark he has left and is continuing to leave on our lives.
