About Chris Packham

Chris Packham CBE is one of the most recognisable faces in British natural history broadcasting. Since 2009, he has served as a lead presenter for the BBC's flagship seasonal programmes, including Springwatch, Autumnwatch, and Winterwatch. After rising to prominence as a co-host of the BAFTA-winning The Really Wild Show, he has gone on to front major documentaries such as Blue Planet Live, Animal Einsteins, and Inside the Animal Mind. His commitment to public engagement is further evidenced by his acclaimed work exploring neurodiversity, such as the documentary Asperger’s and Me, and his best-selling memoir, Fingers in the Sparkle Jar. Beyond the screen, he is a dedicated environmental campaigner and an award-winning wildlife photographer, twice receiving the Wildlife Photographer of the Year accolade. He has been honoured with the Dilys Breese BTO Medal for excellence in science communication and was ranked as the second most influential figure on The Wildlife Power List. Recent years have seen his influence grow further through his appointment as a Commander of the Order of the British Empire for services to nature conservation, while he continues to lead high-profile advocacy efforts regarding biodiversity and species protection. His expertise and authoritative delivery make him a compelling choice for audiences seeking to understand the complexities of our natural world. By blending scientific rigour with engaging storytelling, he provides a sophisticated perspective on the most pressing environmental challenges of the modern era. On stage, Chris Packham is best known for talks on Wildlife Conservation, Environmental Advocacy and Nature Photography. Audiences leave with a clear, practical view of the subject rather than a generic overview — every keynote is shaped around the brief and the room. Their work resonates with leaders across Education, Entertainment and Social Impact & Advocacy, where the themes translate directly into team decisions, customer experience and growth strategy. Chris Packham is regularly booked for Presenter & Awards Host, adapting tone, length and format to suit the event — from a 20-minute opener to a full conference keynote with Q&A.
