TOM LAND
I am a Zoologist and professional researcher having studied both my BSc. Zoology and MRes. Evolution at the University of Southampton. I keep it no secret that I love animals and the natural world, not only do I cherish working with nature but also talking about it.
I now work for the BBC, as a researcher, on the upcoming Prehistoric Planet, airing 23rd May 2022 on AppleTV+. This having a chance to put my love for the subject into practice, getting experience both in the production team of documentary making as well as learning behind the camera as well.
I am fuelled to discover more about our planet, from previous research trips from the steamy jungles of Belize to the Galapagos Archipelago.
Behind each of my articles and films, I hope to capture the beauty and complexity of nature herself telling a unique story. Our world should be shared and protected for the generations to come.
