BBC Two - Our Wild Adventures, Series 1, Rainforests

BBC presenters look back on their adventures in our precious rainforests.

We take a trip through the natural history archives with some of the BBC’s favourite wildlife presenters, as they remember some of their Wild Adventures in rainforests.

BBC presenters look back on their adventures in our most precious of habitats – rainforests.

Chris Packham recalls his visit to Pipeline Road in Panama, where he saw a staggering array of birds, and the rainforest of Peru where he witnessed the relationship between an agouti and a Brazil nut tree. 

Steve Backshall’s experience of rainforests has been a little more adrenaline-fuelled, as he recounts his climb of a tepui, a sheer sandstone mountain, in the rainforest of Venezuela.

George McGavin remembers, with great affection, the time he was in Guyana on the hunt for the world’s biggest tarantula – the Goliath bird-eating spider. 

Liz Bonnin describes her time helping conservationists in the Amazon, climbing a tree to put a camera on a harpy eagle nest. While Gordon Buchanan recounts his four years living in the rainforest, learning his trade as a wildlife cameraman.
