A fierce advocate for the environment, Suzuki began his career in broadcasting with science-focused shows for children and adults on the CBC in the early 1970s.
In 1979 he began hosting the long-running programme “The Nature of Things”, which has been aired in nearly 50 countries around the world.
Suzuki has also published a number of books, and been a strong activist for global action on climate change.
