Rainforests
BBC presenters look back on their adventures in our most precious of habitats – rainforests.
Chris Packham recalls his visit to Pipeline Road in Panama - where he saw a a staggering array of birds - and the rainforest of Peru, where he witnessed the relationship between an agouti and a Brazil nut tree. Steve Backshall's experience of rainforests has been a little more adrenaline-fuelled, as he recounts his climb of a tepui, a sheer sandstone mountain, in the rainforest of Venezuela.
George McGavin remembers, with great affection, the time he was in Guyana on the hunt for the world's biggest tarantula – the Goliath bird-eating spider. Liz Bonnin describes her time helping conservationists in the Amazon, climbing a tree to put a camera on a harpy eagle nest. And Gordon Buchanan recounts his four years living in the rainforest, learning his trade as a wilflife cameraman.
