Chris Packham
Build informed, responsible approaches to environmental accountability and foster an inclusive workplace culture with award-winning naturalist and neurodiversity advocate Chris Packham. CBE recipient, BBC presenter, and co-founder of the environmental legal group, Wild Justice.
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 40s, 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.

To book Chris Packham, email chris.packham@getapeptalk.com or call PepTalk on +44 20 3835 2929 (UK) or +1 737 888 5112 (US), and one of our speaker agents will contact you within hours to confirm Chris' availability and speaking fee. If you can, please include your budget upfront – it helps us fast-track your request. It’s also helpful to know the date, format (virtual or in-person), location, and about your audience.
No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.
Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.
Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
