BBC raising funds for wildlife

The BBC Wildlife Fund’s Wild campaign kicked off in late April and culminates in Wild Night, a live BBC2 broadcast on the evening of 20 June.

The BBC Springwatch programme’s Chris Packham, Kate Humble and Martin Hughes-Games will anchor the show, while the doyen of natural history programming, Sir David Attenborough, will be making his own contributions.

The hope is that, as the evening progresses in the style of BBC Children in Need and Comic Relief, the public will get on to the call lines and make their own contributions to the cause of protecting all manner of wildlife and natural places.

Find out more about the campaign at www.bbc.co.uk/wild, where you can sign up to receive the campaign newsletter and/or download a sponsorship pack if you fancy running a fundraising event of your own.
