Gordon Buchanan, a wildlife film-maker originally from the Isle of Mull, is currently working with the BBC to document the lives of lions, leopards, and cheetahs in Botswana, around the clock. The experienced Scottish cameraman has filmed and even hosted over 32 natural history programs, and his dedication to conservation earned him an MBE in 2020. Despite his success, Buchanan remains humble. “Growing up in a small town,” he explains, “I feel a bit overwhelmed by what I’ve achieved. I only ever wanted to prove something to myself.”
