"Bird-Watcher Wrongfully Accused in Central Park Lands a Nat Geo TV Show About Birding"
By Good News Network -May 29, 2022

The Black man who was wrongly accused by a White woman in New York City while he was birdwatching is set to star in a new National Geographic TV series—and he intends to inspire viewers with his lifelong hobby.

Christian Cooper, the lifelong bird-watcher, has been spying crows, cardinals and catbirds since he was ten.

The channel announced this week that the 59-year-old will host a new nature series called Extraordinary Birder.

“Christian Cooper takes us into the wild, wonderful and unpredictable world of birds.”

“Whether braving stormy seas in Alaska for puffins, trekking into rainforests in Puerto Rico for parrots, or scaling a bridge in Manhattan for a peregrine falcon, he does whatever it takes to learn about these extraordinary feathered creatures and show us the remarkable world in the sky above.”
its stupid these days with wrongly accusing folk.

I love anything in nature so would be good programme to watch. teddybear
I certainly hope so. NatGeo usually produces really good documentaries, so I'd think that his show would be just as interesting.cheering
I forgot to add that,
"A National Geographic spokesperson told CNN the show will premiere in spring of 2023."
(I previously thought that it would air 'in the spring of 2022).
I know you didn't but I was only asking because I couldn't find anything myself to word the incident as it was.
What was she charged with and what does " racial sensitivity training"?
why also did she have to make a public apology also?

Ps, have you a link for me to google?
I'll check...
