Samir Randera-Rees BBC Earth Presenter Search

I am a passionate conservationist, ecologist and entrepreneur. My entire career has been dedicated to improving the protection and management of the natural world, and conveying my love for nature to a wider audience.

I currently work as the Programme Manager of the Water Source Areas Programme at WWF South Africa. Through my job, I aspire to protect the water provisioning landscapes of South Africa.

Prior to that I founded the company Whispers of the Wild. I developed a mobile app for African safaris which offers an audio guide to African wildlife. I used my knowledge gained as a trained game ranger to develop the content, record the audio, contribute photos and run the business.

In 2017, I was selected as one the Mail & Guardian's prestigious 200 Young South Africans for my work in conservation.

I have a MSc. in Conservation Ecology, I am a qualified game ranger, and I am about to start an MBA in Conservation Leadership through the African Leadership University.

I have appeared as a guest in several TV shows, including Keeping up with the Kruger on Animal Plant, and Down to Earth on People's Weather.

I have dual South African and British citizenship, so I am eligible to work in the UK.
