Not entirely true its for one special kids episode if you read the article its a one off special for Children In Need and Earth Day. He is not being replaced its just one special kids episode

"The 97-year-old broadcaster, who has been on TV since the 1950s, is stepping aside on a special episode of the hit BBC nature series for a very wholesome reason.

A special edition of the new series will instead be narrated by 50 schoolchildren reading from Sir David’s original scripts as they step into the shoes of one of the most influential broadcasters in British TV history.

Planet Earth III: Narrated By Kids will include visual highlights from the original series, with the children themselves taking the lead. ‘Because you don’t have to be Sir David Attenborough to become a voice for nature.

The hit BBC documentary series has collaborated with BBC Children In Need, which selected schools that had helped its fundraising efforts to feature in the episode.

emmabeckz yeah I know it's for one episode I still couldn't watch it tho and I doubt I'd be able to watch it if he was to retire from doing it it just doesn't seem right it's his voice that also makes it fantastic to watch

The pupils at my husbands school are one of the 5 schools that have been picked to do the voiceover. So proud of them.

This is one of my favourite quotes of his, and so apt

“We often talk of saving the planet, but the truth is that we must do these things to save ourselves. With or without us, the wild will return.”
