Abstract
Two gentlemen sit facing each other in the Oval Office. It is May 8, 2015, a date undistinguished except that it is the eighty-ninth birthday of the more elderly of the two gentleman: Sir David Attenborough. He is meeting President Barack Obama for the first time. The world's most powerful person is hosting the world's most influential naturalist for a wide-ranging discussion about "the future of the planet, their passion for nature and what can be done to protect it."
