Asa Butterfield on road trips, safari close calls, and seeing a giraffe for the first time
“ I think the more we can educate young people to be out in parks, be out in the woods, keep them connected with the natural world, we need that because we're in such a crucial fight to keep what we have and if young people don't care about it, it will go.” - Asa Butterfield
Actor and nature advocate Asa Butterfield joins fellow actor and WWF ambassador Cel Spellman in this special episode of Call of the Wild, supported by John Lewis Partnership.
