Steve Backshall
Adventurer & Natural History Presenter
Steve has just returned from an expedition in Bhutan, where he was filming for the BBC’s Lost Land of the Tiger. He is currently filming the third series of Deadly 60 and is soon to embark on a major new Saturday morning live show Live and Deadly - due to air in Autumn 2010. He is also busy writing a book entitled 'Expeditions'.
As wildlife expert on CBBC’s groundbreaking series Steve Backshall’s Deadly 60, Steve has established himself as a popular children’s TV Presenter. Recent projects also include the BBC’s hugely successful Lost Land of the Jaguar (2008), and Lost Land of the Volcano series (2009).
As the expedition king, Steve has travelled the globe in search of the wild, weird and wonderful. He made the first descent into an enormous, unexplored sinkhole for the BBC1’s Emmy-nominated epic Expedition Borneo, and trekked into the heart of America’s most inhospitable terrain for Discovery’s Expedition Alaska. For the BBC’s Secret Wilderness: Japan he met giant salamanders and feisty Macaque monkeys, and came face-to-face with King Cobras for Sky One’s Inside King Cobra programme. Closer to home, Steve has presented Britain’s Lost World, Extreme Caving, Inside Out and The Nature of Britain and, most famously, CBBC’s The Really Wild Show.
Steve is a successful author with Steve Backshall’s Venom, The Rough Guide to: Indonesia, Southeast Asia and First-time Asia, as well as the forthcoming Adventurers Guide to Wildlife and Adventurer in Residence. He regularly writes article for newspapers and magazines including the National Geographic Traveler and BBC Wildlife.
As an inspirational public speaker Steve presents on a range of wildlife, conservation, exploration and adventure topics. His recent climbing accident and recovery is the focus of his current presentation and makes for a fascinating and motivating event.
