Patrick Aryee (born November 1985) is a British-Ghanaian TV presenter, biologist and voiceover artist. He is best known for presenting a wide range of TV documentaries on both BBC and Sky. Aryee has a degree in Cancer Biology (University of Bristol), and a masters in Science Communication (University of the West of England). In 2014 he won the New On Screen Talent award at the RTS West Awards for his presenting debut in Super Senses: The Secret Power of Animals.
Career
After beginning his career working behind the scenes on a host of BBC documentaries, including Frozen Planet and Attenborough: 60 Years in the Wild, Aryee found success in presenting his own documentaries. In 2018 he joined the Springwatch team as a guest presenter; he's also been a regular contributor to The One Show and Countryfile.
As well as presenting on the BBC, Aryee has become one of Sky’s leading nature presenters. He fronted the Amazing Animal Family titles across three series; Big Cats (2015), Monkeys (2016) and Dogs (2017). This led to two spin-off series for the Sky Kids app, Wild Files: Big Cats, and Wild Files: Monkeys & Apes. In 2018, he presented Big Beasts: Land of the Giants where he took on arguably his most daring wildlife challenge yet, freediving with a sperm whale.
When Sky Nature launched in June 2020, his three part series Wild Animals Babies premiered as the first original produced by Sky made exclusively for the new channel.
Aryee is an ambassador for the RSPCA.

| 2017 | Wild Files: INSPIRING INDIVIDUAL: PATRICK ARYEEPatrick Aryee has been behind the scenes on David Attenborough documentaries that have left the world in awe of Earth’s majestic places and aware of the deep conservation issues our planet faces. Patrick worked his way up in the BBC Natural History Unit and his on and off-screen achievements would certainly make his younger self proud.
Everything he does comes back to the theme of biodiversity conservation, and setting an example for the new generation of conservation warriors. A fascinating man and an Earth advocate, Patrick Aryee is nothing short of inspiring and we are honoured to introduce our Wild Tribe to him in this interview! Please tell us about yourselfJambo!

Much to the envy of my friends, I have the fortune of travelling the globe to capture the wonder of Mother Nature through the perspective of the flora & fauna that surrounds us.
Can you tell us a little bit about your professional backgroundWell, it all started behind the lens, and in front of the telly. As a kid I watched a lot of TV, so in retrospect it makes sense that I ended up pursuing it professionally. Even at a young age I recognised the power of visual media, how in an instant you could be transported to a different part of the world, or, to an entirely alien one if you so desired; FYI if you haven’t already guessed it, I’m a big fan of sci-fi!
