Ben Fogle is a celebrated television presenter, writer and adventurer whose work has captured the imagination of audiences across the United Kingdom and beyond. With an impressive blend of charisma and expertise in exploration, Ben has become a respected voice on sustainability and conservation. His dynamic presence and commitment to protecting our natural environment make him an ideal sustainability speaker for events and conferences. Audiences are drawn to his authentic storytelling, which combines first-hand adventure with insightful commentary on the urgent need for environmental stewardship.

Ben’s adventurous career is nothing short of extraordinary. He has summited Mount Everest, and led over a dozen expeditions, from traversing the challenging Black Cat trail in Papua New Guinea to conquering Mount Kilimanjaro and exploring the Mountains of the Moon in Uganda. His experiences crossing Spitzbergen, navigating the Peruvian Amazon and racing the three peaks marathon in the Italian Dolomites underline his remarkable commitment to adventure. Teaming up with James Cracknell and Dr Ed Coats to race across Antarctica in the inaugural South Pole Race, and his participation in the Atlantic Rowing race in 2005 alongside Cracknell, further exemplify his fearless spirit.

Beyond his exploits in extreme environments, Ben has forged a successful media career. He first appeared on the BBC’s Castaway, where he spent a year marooned on an island in the Outer Hebrides, captivating viewers with his resilience. Since then, he has presented a multitude of programmes, including Countryfile, Wild in Africa and Extreme Dreams. As an ambassador for WWF, Médecins Sans Frontiers and Tusk, and a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, he has consistently worked to raise awareness on conservation issues.

Today, Ben is highly sought after as a sustainability speaker because he brings a unique perspective from the frontlines of adventure and media. His ability to connect personal experiences with broader environmental challenges resonates deeply with audiences, inspiring them to take practical steps towards sustainability. His expertise, engaging style and proven passion for conservation make him a top choice for organisations looking to inspire meaningful change.
