Stephen Mills

Stephen Mills has been a professional naturalist all his working life. As a leading wildlife film-maker he has been nearly ‘eaten’ or ‘trampled’ on by most of the world’s big animals. More recently he has been leading trips to many destinations for Discovery Initaitives including Namibia, India and Tanzania.

“My special interest is in all aspects of animal behaviour. Sharing insights like this is genuinely rewarding and when my guests go home even more enthusiastic than when they set out, the job feels really worthwhile.” Sustaining enthusiasm helps to keep conservation on the boil.

Stephen has made over 30 television films, has worked on major BBC series like Land of the Tiger, and The Private Life of Plants and is a past chairman of the International Association of Wildlife Film-makers. He also writes in BBC Wildlife Magazine. He recently published a beautiful book entitled ‘Tiger’.
