BIO
A geographer and climatologist by training and science communicator by vocation, Jacob Petrus (Manresa, Barcelona, 1976) has been accompanying viewers for more than a decade on Aquí la Tierra, an environmental program screened by public broadcaster RTVE that informs, educates and raises awareness about the three key environmental crises of our time: pollution, climate change and biodiversity loss.
His professional career, which spans over 25 years reporting on the planet’s environmental challenges, began as head of weather reporting at Telemadrid, a position he held until 2013. He next worked with public radio broadcaster RNE, contributing to the programs Las Mañanas de RNE, Gente Despierta, De Pe a Pa and Las tardes de RNE, where he continues to foreground content related to conservation, the environment, meteorology and climatology.
As of 2014, he has added the posts of director, coordinator and presenter of Aquí la Tierra, combining them since 2022 with regular contributions to the Héroes por el Clima section of Vocento’s Antropía supplement, where he publishes interviews and profiles of agents and institutions fighting to protect the environment. He has also written outreach articles on meteorology and climatology for media like Muy Interesante, Geo or the newspaper Público.
