I had a huge advantage when I started 50 years ago - my job was secure. I didn't have to promote myself. These days there's far more pressure to make a mark, so the temptation is to make adventure television or personality shows. I hope the more didactic approach won't be lost.

People must feel that the natural world is important and valuable and beautiful and wonderful and an amazement and a pleasure.
