Backshall tells people to ‘stay out’ of polluted Thames

Wildlife expert Steve Backshall has warned people to stay out of the polluted River Thames in London to prevent harm to themselves and the environment.

Backshall, known for his work on nature documentaries, highlighted the high levels of pollutants in the river and the risk it poses to human health and wildlife.

He urged people to be cautious and avoid coming into contact with the contaminated water, noting that the Thames has been a dumping ground for centuries and still contains harmful substances.

Backshall also called for greater efforts to clean up the river and protect its delicate ecosystem for future generations to enjoy.
