Career
Although Peter Crawford is now freelance and specialises in lecturing and writing on Polynesia and the people and wildlife of the Pacific Ocean, he spent most of his career working in the world-renowned BBC Natural History Unit.

He pioneered new ways of bringing natural history and environmental issues to wide audiences. 'World Safari' and 'Global Sunrise' highlighted his ambitious style of presentation.
Peter Crawford studied Zoology and Marine Biology at the University of Exeter in England and made further studies in Anthropology at the University of Mainz in Germany. In 2008, he was appointed Honorary Visiting Professor at his Alma Mater - Exeter University.
