Seton's story of Lobo touched the hearts of many, both in the U.S. and the rest of the world, and was partly responsible for changing views towards the environment and provided a spur for the starting of the conservationist movement. The story had a profound influence on one of the world's most acclaimed broadcasters and naturalists, Sir David Attenborough, and inspired the 1962 Disney film The Legend of Lobo. Lobo's story was the subject of a BBC documentary directed by Steve Gooder in 2007.[8]
