Early and personal life

Bellamy was born in London to parents Winifred May (née Green) and Thomas Bellamy on 18 January 1933.[2] He was raised in a Baptist family and retained a strong Christian faith throughout his life.[3] As a child, he had hoped to be a ballet dancer, but he concluded that his rather large physique regrettably precluded him from pursuing the training.[2] Bellamy went to school in London, attending Chatsworth Road Primary School in Cheam, Cheam Road Junior School and Sutton County Grammar School, where he initially showed an aptitude for English literature and history; he then found his vocation because of an inspirational science teacher, studying zoology, botany, physics and chemistry in the sixth form.[4] He gained an honours degree in botany at Chelsea College of Science and Technology (now part of King's College London) in 1957 and a PhD at Bedford College in 1960.[5]

Bellamy was influenced by Gene Stratton-Porter's 1909 novel A Girl of the Limberlost and Disney's 1940 film Fantasia.[2]

Bellamy married Rosemary Froy in 1959, and the couple remained together until her death in 2018. They had five children: Henrietta (died 2017), Eoghain, Brighid, Rufus and Hannah.[6] Bellamy lived with his wife in the Pennines, in County Durham.[2][7]

Scientific career

Bellamy's first work in a scientific environment was as a laboratory assistant at Ewell Technical College[8] before he studied for his BSc at Chelsea. In 1960 he became a lecturer in the Botany department of Durham University.[9] The work that brought him to public prominence was his environmental consultancy on the Torrey Canyon oil spill in 1967, about which he wrote a paper in the leading scientific journal, Nature.[10]

Bellamy published many scientific papers and books between 1966 and 1986 (see #Bibliography). Many books were associated with the TV series that he worked on. During the 1980s he replaced Big Chief I-Spy as the figurehead of the I-Spy range of children's books, to whom completed books were sent to get a reward. In 1980 he released a single written by Mike Croft with musical arrangement by Dave Grosse to coincide with the release of the I-Spy title I Spy Dinosaurs (about dinosaur fossils) entitled "Brontosaurus Will You Wait For Me?" (backed with "Oh Stegosaurus"). He performed it on Blue Peter wearing an orange jump suit. It reached number 88 in the charts.[11]

Promotional and conservation work

In the early 1970s, Bellamy helped to establish Durham Wildlife Trust, and remained a key player in the conservation movement in the Durham area for a number of decades.[12]

The New Zealand Tourism Department, a government agency, became involved with the Coast to Coast adventure race in 1988 as they recognised the potential for event tourism. They organised and funded foreign journalists to come and cover the event. One of those was Bellamy, who did not just report from the event, but decided to compete. While in the country, Bellamy worked on a documentary series Moa's Ark that was released by Television New Zealand in 1990,[13][14] and he was awarded the New Zealand 1990 Commemoration Medal.[15]

Bellamy was the originator, along with David Shreeve and the Conservation Foundation (which he also founded), of the Ford European Conservation Awards.[16]

In 2002, he was a keynote speaker on conservation issues at the Asia Pacific Ecotourism Conference (Apeco).[17]

In 2015, David Bellamy and his wife Rosemary visited Malaysia to explore its wildlife.[17]

In 2016, he opened the Hedleyhope Fell Boardwalk, which is the main feature of Durham Wildlife Trust's Hedleyhope Fell reserve in County Durham. The project includes a 60-metre path from Tow Law to the Hedleyhope Fell reserve, and 150 metres of boardwalk made from recycled plastic bottles.[18]

Broadcasting career

After his TV appearances concerning the Torrey Canyon disaster, his exuberant and demonstrative presentation of science topics featured on programmes such as Don't Ask Me along with other scientific personalities such as Magnus Pyke, Miriam Stoppard and Rob Buckman. He wrote, appeared in or presented hundreds of television programmes on botany, ecology, environmentalism and other issues. His television series included Bellamy on Botany, Bellamy's Britain, Bellamy's Europe and Bellamy's Backyard Safari.[19] He was regularly parodied by impersonators such as Lenny Henry on Tiswas with a "gwapple me gwapenuts" catchphrase. His distinctive voice was used in advertising.[20]

Activism

In 1983 he was imprisoned for blockading the Australian Franklin River in a protest against a proposed dam.[17] On 18 August 1984, he leapt from the pier at St Abbs Harbour into the North Sea; in the process he officially opened Britain's first Voluntary Marine Reserve, the St. Abbs and Eyemouth Voluntary Marine Reserve..[21] In the late 1980s he fronted a campaign in Jersey, Channel Islands, to save Queens Valley, the site of the lead character's cottage in Bergerac, from being turned into a reservoir because of the presence of a rare type of snail, but was unable to stop it.[22] In 1997 he stood unsuccessfully at Huntingdon against the incumbent Prime Minister John Major for the Referendum Party. Bellamy credits this campaign with the decline in his career as a popular celebrity and television personality. In a 2002 interview, he said it was ill-advised.[23]

He was a prominent campaigner against the construction of wind farms in undeveloped areas, despite appearing very enthusiastic about wind power in the educational video Power from the Wind[24] produced by Britain's Central Electricity Generating Board.

David Bellamy was the President of the British Institute of Cleaning Science (BICSc) and was a strong supporter of the BICSc plan to educate young people to care for and protect the environment. The David Bellamy Awards Programme is a competition designed to encourage schools to be aware of, and act positively towards, environmental cleanliness. Bellamy was also a patron of the British Homeopathic Association, and the UK plastic recycling charity Recoup from 1998.

Views on global warming

In his foreword to the 1989 book The Greenhouse Effect,[25] Bellamy wrote:

The profligate demands of humankind are causing far reaching changes to the atmosphere of planet Earth, of this there is no doubt. Earth's temperature is showing an upward swing, the so-called greenhouse effect, now a subject of international concern. The greenhouse effect may melt the glaciers and ice caps of the world causing the sea to rise and flood many of our great cities and much of our best farmland.

Bellamy's later statements on global warming indicate that he subsequently changed his views completely. A letter he published on 16 April 2005 in New Scientist asserted that a large proportion (555 of 625) of the glaciers being observed by the World Glacier Monitoring Service were advancing, not retreating.[26] George Monbiot of The Guardian tracked down Bellamy's original source for this information and found that it was from discredited data originally published by Fred Singer, who claimed to have obtained these figures from a 1989 article in the journal Science: however, Monbiot proved that this article had never existed.[27] Bellamy subsequently accepted that his figures on glaciers were wrong, and announced in a letter to The Sunday Times in 2005 that he had "decided to draw back from the debate on global warming",[28] although Bellamy jointly authored a paper with Jack Barrett in the refereed Civil Engineering journal of the Institution of Civil Engineers, entitled "Climate stability: an inconvenient proof" in May 2007.[29]

His opinions changed the way some organisations viewed Bellamy. The Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts stated in 2005 "We are not happy with his line on climate change",[30] and Bellamy, who had been president of The Wildlife Trusts since 1995,[12] was succeeded by Aubrey Manning in November 2005.[31] Bellamy complained that his views on global warming resulted in the rejection of programme ideas by the BBC.[32]
