“Who will speak up for lions when my voice is carried away on the wind?” 

George Adamson of Born Free.

The millions of dollars generated by eco-tourism are the economic bedrock of Africa’s world-famous national parks. Without them, not even the Serengeti could survive for long.

Brian Jackman is an award-winning journalist and author (The Marsh Lions and West With the Light) with a lifelong passion for travel. He is best known as Britain’s foremost writer on African wildlife safaris, having spent more than three years in total under canvas in the African bush. He is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, an ambassador for the Tusk Trust and a former trustee of the George Adamson Wildlife Preservation Trust.

Help Our Planet  

The HOP talks are part of an initiative aiming to inspire and inform individuals, families and local communities with tangible actions to help combat the effects of climate change and environmental degradation, and to raise money for charities working in these areas. Each month the charity is chosen by the speaker. The project was initiated by Philip Howse OBE (Professor Emeritus, University of Southampton) with Professor Sir Ghillean Prance FRS VMH (former Director of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew) and the late James Lovelock CBE. Patrons include: George Monbiot, Clive Farrell, Dr George McGavin and Dr Kate Rawles.
