Every Nature documentary that ends with David Attenborough saying "there is still time to revert this destruction of natural habitat" makes me want to turn of the TV. I understand David's motivation (instill some catalyst for change) but I am with that other David - David Suzuki.
As per David Suzuki: it is shit, it will get shittier, responsible people should act accordingly [0]: <<"The science has said, ‘We have passed a tipping point, we cannot go back,'" Suzuki said. Survival in a warming world, he says, will increasingly depend on the resilience of local communities — and preparation must start now.>>

I am reminded of Mayer Hillman - https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/apr/26/were-doo...
You want to the documentary to end with David Attenborough saying that it is too late to revert the destruction of natural habitat?
I, too, would appreciate this. "Look at what is getting lost because of YOUR choices and votes." It would be the truth.
"It's too late" and "It's your fault" are two different claims. The second one is clearly true, but it's never too late to stop making things worse.
Since this is the truth, yes, I would like the documentary to end by saying it is too late for natural habitat regeneration.
