About Liz Bonnin
A pre-eminent figure in natural history broadcasting, Liz Bonnin transitioned from early roles in music and entertainment to becoming a formidable voice in science and wildlife. After presenting mainstream programmes like Top of the Pops and RI:SE, she committed to her scientific roots by completing a Master’s degree in wild animal biology and conservation. This academic background, which included tracking tigers in Nepal, paved the way for her to front eight series of Bang Goes the Theory, alongside major productions such as Horizon, Tomorrow’s World, and the BAFTA-winning Big Blue Live.
Her extensive filmography includes the critically acclaimed Galapagos, where she descended to a record-breaking depth of 1km, and the impactful documentary Drowning in Plastic. Beyond her television work, Bonnin remains actively involved in big cat conservation initiatives with the Zoological Society of London. Her expertise spans the intersection of sustainability, technology, and STEM education, allowing her to bridge the gap between complex environmental data and public understanding.
Bonnin is frequently booked for her ability to translate intricate scientific concepts into compelling narratives that resonate with corporate and governmental audiences. Her authoritative yet accessible delivery makes her an exceptional choice for events focused on the future of our planet and the role of innovation in conservation.
On stage, Liz Bonnin is best known for talks on Science, Nature, Sustainability, STEM Education, Technology and AI. 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, Media & Broadcasting and Science & Research, where the themes translate directly into team decisions, customer experience and growth strategy.
