Jeremy Wade

Having grown up on the Suffolk Stour, Jeremy has become known for spending his time beside, on and in rivers: from the Amazon to the Zambezi – via the Danube, Congo, Ganges, Mississippi, Yangtze, and many others.

Along with this international perspective he brings a lifelong interest in fish and other underwater life, as documented in nine seasons of the TV show River Monsters (Discovery/Animal Planet/ITV). In its epilogue Mighty Rivers he looked at the role of apex predators as indicator species of river health – and at the ways, all over the world, people are starting to help rivers recover from neglect and maltreatment.
