Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Britons are the most concerned nationality when it comes to wildlife, says veteran broadcaster Sir David Attenborough.
The naturalist, 86, is presenting a new BBC Radio 4 series, Tweet Of The Day, devoted to birdsong.
The minute-and-a-half episodes, played in a slot before the Today Programme, feature 265 different recordings of birds' songs and calls.
Sir David, who will be followed by Chris Packham and other presenters on the show, told the Radio Times: "If it's (wildlife) around you all the time, you tend to take it for granted.
"But I think British people care more about the natural world because the Industrial Revolution started here. We've been losing countryside for longer than anyone else."
He added: "I think watching birds is hugely therapeutic.
"There's a great solace in watching birds and the reappearance of birds and the measuring of the seasons by birds. Of that I'm quite sure."
