I can assure you that in the British Isles, as well as astonishing scenery there are extraordinary animal dramas and wildlife spectacles to match anything I have seen on my global travels.\u201d<\/p>
Dr Philip Wheeler, Senior Lecturer in Ecology at The Open University, added: \u201cWe are so used to seeing exotic places and species on wildlife documentaries that it is brilliant to see the wildlife of the British Isles presented in this way.<\/p>\n
\u201cWild Isles shows how nature closer to home has amazing stories to tell and it is a real privilege to be able to contribute academic expertise from the OU to the series. I hope the public interest this series generates will give wildlife in Britain and Ireland the boost it urgently needs.\u201d<\/p>\n
Beccy Speight, Chief Executive of the RSPB, the UK\u2019s largest nature conservation charity, also commented: \u201cWild Isles will be essential viewing at a time when we are facing into a nature and climate emergency. Showcasing the UK\u2019s spectacular places and wonderful wildlife gives us a powerful platform to build the broadest and most diverse movement for nature there\u2019s ever been.\u201d<\/p>\n
A release date has yet to be confirmed by the BBC.<\/p>\n
