Martin's Production Bio Copyright © mPRm Public Relations, NY, NY Martin Kratt (Creator/Executive Producer/Star) is a innovative wildlife filmmaker, zoologist, and real-life "creature adventurer" dedicated to teaching people about wild creatures and working for the preservation of endangered species. In 1990, Martin and his brother, Chris, founded The Earth Creature Company, which specializes in wildlife entertainment. Prior to co-creating and co-hosting Zoboomafoo and Kratts' Creatures, the critically acclaimed children's wildlife series that began airing on PBS in 1996, Martin and his brother had written, produced, filmed, hosted and distributed seven award winning nature series documentaries and 12 "Earth Creatures Reports" for TBS's Real News for Kids. They also produced segments for Nickelodeon's Video Pen Pals Show. Martin has co-authored, with Chris, eight wildlife books for children (including Creatures in Crisis and Where're the Bears?), published by Scholastic, Inc. In September 1998, U.S. Secretary of the Interior Bruce Babbitt presented the Kratt Brothers with an award of appreciation for their ongoing commitment and public service on behalf of conversation and environmental education. A graduate of Duke University, where he received a B.S. in zoology, Martin was awarded the Richard H. Jenerette Fellowship to the University of North Carolina MBA program. He has been involved in several field projects relating to wildlife and completed a training program in breeding endangered species in captivity at the Jersey Wildlife Preservation Trust in England. |
