The 90-year-old English naturalist will have a mobile programme created to mark the milestone called 'Attenborough's Story of Life' commissioned by the BBC, which features 1,000 curated clips from the programmes he has presented over his six decade spanning career.
Speaking in a statement about David's latest venture, Julian Hector, acting head of the BBC natural history unit, said: "We're building an unrivalled digital collection of his most remarkable wildlife encounters, new discoveries and filming firsts and can't wait to bring this to fans and families everywhere this autumn."
And the 'Planet Earth' narrator - who curated the footage in the app - hopes 'Attenborough's Story of Life' will "inspire a whole new generation" of people because he believes understanding the world is "the greatest gift".
He said: "Knowing and understanding the natural world is one of the greatest gifts that humans can possess, if we lose our connection with nature then we lose ourselves.
'[And] to keep sharing those stories in a digital age means taking them online and I hope 'The Story of Life' will reach and inspire a whole new generation.'
And the television personality has admitted he has had the "great privilege" of being able to explore the world and is pleased he can share his experiences.
He said: "I've had the great privilege of being allowed to travel and discover the infinite variety of life on our planet and to share these stories with audiences all over the world.'
David Attenborough's 'Attenborough Story of Life' app is available to download on both iOS and Android devices on Thursday (17.11.16).
