Britain too overcrowded because women are not ‘educated’ enough to stop having children, suggests Springwatch presenter Chris Packham –
At home on the edge of the New Forest, the crusading environmentalist and TV presenter Chris Packham is eloquently and forcefully fulminating on a range of subjects he holds passionately dear
The badger cull: “It will go down as one of the country’s greatest shames in conservation.” The lack of diversity in his chosen field: “Conservation is all middle class white people. If I do an event with kids, they all turn up in four-by-four Volvos.” The absence of a campaign to fight what he views as the nature-wrecking intensification of British agriculture: “We’re up against agro-chemical businesses like Monsanto and Bayer. That’s why no one’s getting involved: no one has the balls.”
Don’t get him started on the trapping of thousands of migratory birds on MoD property in Cyprus, a cause for which he’s participated in an upcoming documentary. “If this was drug trafficking, or human trafficking, that was going through the base, the MoD wouldn’t back down. But because it’s killing birds it’s, like [dismissively], ‘oh, that’s a bit of environmental damage…’”
