I am a British-Bangladeshi ornithologist, conservationist, environmentalist, climate, human rights and anti-genocide activist. I love birds and wildlife, and am an ornithologist, conservationist, environmentalist and race activist. I am a qualified bird ringer and got my C Permit licence age 16 from the British Trust for Ornithology, the youngest age possible to get a licence. I graduated from St

John's College, Cambridge University in Human Social Political Sciences (HSPS) which is politics, social anthropology, sociology as they intersect with other issues such as race and gender. My first book, We Have A Dream, highlights 30 young environmentalists of colour from around the world, available from https://bit.ly/3xDFECp. My second book, Birdgirl, is my story – one defined by my love of birds, which bring joy and stillness in difficult times. It's out now from and you can order at https://bit.ly/3tH5mFe. My email is [email protected] and [email protected] for my talent agent & [email protected] for Black2Nature matters. I blogged as Birdgirl from when I was 11 years old and reached millions of readers. I set up Black2Nature age 13 and am President helping to organise nature camps for racially minoritised inner-city children and young people and also Race Equality in Nature Conferences. Age 13, I was also a Bristol European Green Capital 2015 Ambassador and listed as one of Bristol's more influential young people along with singer-songwriter George Ezra and Game of Thrones actress Maisie Williams. I am passionate about stopping climate breakdown, global climate justice, the need for a just transition and the ending of human rights abuses against indigenous peoples.

Sad to see my family restaurant close 45 years after my granddad opened it and almost 70 years after he opened Bristol’s first Indian restaurant on Stokes Croft

The restaurant was opened by Feroze and Asma Ahmed in 1981

Today is a very special day. Happy 100th birthday to Sir David Attenborough! 🎉

Thank you for showing us the beauty of the natural world, and doing it with such grace and wonder.

Thank you for encouraging us to always look beyond our four walls, showing us that it's right to care for our natural world.

And thank you for taking us to breathtaking landscapes, that really had to be seen to be believed. From journeying through unexplored forests, over vast deserts and wetlands, to giving us a glimpse into the lives of the wildlife that share this planet with us.

For decades, you've inspired generations of nature lovers. And for that, we are eternally grateful.

A very happy birthday, Sir! 🥳

Happy 100th birthday to an absolute legend! 🎉 I am one of the many, many people Sir David Attenborough has inspired through his deep love and admiration for nature. I have so many childhood memories of me glued to the telly watching snakes, insects, birds of paradise, and more 💚

When I was 14 I was lucky enough to meet him. I remember he made a joke about us being the oldest and the youngest in the room!
