Chris Packham is a broadcaster, naturalist, and environmental campaigner who has spent nearly four decades making wildlife conservation and climate science accessible to millions. A leading voice in the UK’s environmental debate and a director of the Climate Emergency Fund, he is known for presenting BBC's Springwatch, Autumnwatch, and Winterwatch, translating complex ecological issues into clear, urgent calls for action.
Chris holds a degree in zoology from the University of Southampton and won the Prince Philip Zoology Prize for his early research. He has presented some of British television's most influential nature programmes and created documentaries such as Greenwashed, which examines corporate environmental impact and activism. Awarded a CBE for services to nature conservation, Chris co-founded Wild Justice to pursue legal protections for UK wildlife and serves as the first non-US director of the Climate Emergency Fund.
Chris brings scientific perspective, field experience, and media authority to organisations grappling with biodiversity loss, sustainability, and environmental responsibility. His work with conservation charities, broadcasters, and policymakers shows how evidence led storytelling can influence public attitudes, business behaviour, and political decision-making. Diagnosed with autism in his 40's, Chris also speaks openly about neurodiversity, helping organisations build inclusive cultures through greater awareness and understanding.
Audiences leave Chris’ presentations with a deeper understanding of the environmental and climate challenges shaping their industries, how media and power influence public debate, and why credible, science-based engagement matters for organisations, leaders, and society.
Book Chris to bring clarity, urgency, and authority to conversations about nature, climate, and responsibility.
