Producer / camerawoman on 'Natur
Anghyfreithlon' ( Illegal Nature )
Researcher, producer and additional
camerawoman on a 6-part series about
endangered wildlife, for S4C, presented by
Iolo Williams. Each hour long programme
examines the threats faced by a particular
animal (or animals) and what can be done to
save them. One programme looks at how palm
oil plantations in Borneo are resulting in
the death of thousands of orangutans.
Another looks at the legal and illegal trade
in wild parrots, concentrating on the
African Grey parrot in Cameroon. We filmed
the illegal shooting of migrating
birds-of-prey in Malta ( and even got shot
at ourselves), and we are due to go to
Russia to film the last programme about
tigers in September. The final 2 programmes
were shot in the UK and look at bird of prey
persecution, and the global and local
problems of over-fishing. The series will be
broadcast on S4C every Monday at 9pm,
starting on 2nd October 2006. Anyone in the
UK with Sky TV can watch the programmes on
digitally on channel 135.
