PROFESSOR David Bellamy is likely to lose his role as the figurehead of two leading wildlife organizations because of his refusal to believe in man-made global warming.
The television presenter and conservationist is the president of Plantlife International and of the Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts. Both organizations have given warnings that wildlife faces a catastrophe because of global warming.
They have been acutely embarrassed to discover that while they have been campaigning to raise awareness, their president has been leading seminars and writing articles in science magazines declaring that man-made warming is a myth.

Stephanie Hilborne, chief executive of the Wildlife Trusts, confirmed that Bellamy’s position was due to be discussed at a board meeting at the end of this month. “We are not happy with his line on climate change. It is a very serious situation and there is a lot we need to talk about,” she said. “Our views certainly differ from our president’s and that is not a good situation to be in.”
