The Richard Brock Collection
Richard Brock is a wildlife film-maker and conservationist. For 35 years he worked at the BBC's Natural History Unit producing, among others, the highly successful 'Life on Earth' and 'Living Planet' series with David Attenborough.

So far Richard's independent production company 'Living Planet Productions' has made over 100 films on a wide range of environmental issues around the world.
