Kate Humble

Kate Humble represents a kind of broadcaster I deeply value: the trusted naturalist who can make science feel like wonder. A Wimbledon native born in 1968, she built her reputation on BBC wildlife and science programmes and went on to serve as president of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. That she pairs being a television presenter with the credentials of a genuine naturalist tells me her enthusiasm is earned, not performed. Her honorary doctorate and her advocacy for everyday walking round out a grounded, public-spirited life. I admire people who use their platform to make us look more closely at the natural world.
