The Team

TIM NEARY

Born in the Eastern Cape of South Africa, Tim was exposed to conservation and the great outdoors from an early age, and entered the world of environmental journalism in 1990. Having gained extensive experience in radio, particularly in field research and reporting, Tim has conceptualized, produced, researched and presented eco and conservation programs for Radio 702, SAFM, Radio Safari, Classic fm and Africam Internet Radio. Today, he continues his shows on Classic fm and Radio 702.

His rescue and water safety training led him to work in the film industry where he gained experience on a number of international action feature films. Tim’s involvement in film and experience in conservation resulted in him working with Green Channel Productions on a variety of wildlife documentaries.  Today, he supplies wildlife footage to a number of production houses. 

Due to his experience and recognition within the environmental and corporate world, Tim has managed diverse and innovative conservation projects.    

Tim’s reputation and extensive network provides an exclusive reach to individuals and organizations across South Africa, allowing him to obtain information and material before it is common knowledge and increasing his exposure to video, radio, print, and photographic opportunities.
