Chris Packham had been vice-president at the charity.
The RSPCA has announced that Chris Packham has been appointed as the charity’s new president.
The naturalist and television presenter, who is well-known for his work on Springwatch, steps up to the role after fifteen years as vice-president.
Mr Packham said: “This honour comes at a historic moment as the charity counts down to its 200th birthday next year in 2024. 200 years of driving forward amazing change for animals, but, arguably, I am taking up my position at one of the most critical times for animals in the charity’s history.”
