Christian Cooper, the Black birdwatcher who was falsely accused in 2020 by a White woman of harassment in New York’s Central Park, has scored a TV show airing on National Geographic channel.

NatGeo’s May 16 announcement said Cooper will guide viewers into the world of birdwatching. “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,” the statement said.

A premiere date has not been released for the six episodes that are in the works, The New York Times reports.

Cooper, 59, became an avid birdwatcher at age 10 growing up on Long Island and wants to share his passion for studying birds, a branch of zoology named ornithology.

“I love spreading the gospel of birding,” Cooper told The Times, adding that he wants more people “to stop and watch and listen and really start appreciating the absolutely spectacular creatures that we have among us.”

Cooper first stepped into the national spotlight after Amy Cooper (who is not related to him) was caught on video calling the police on him after he politely asked Amy Cooper to leash her dog.

Their encounter happened when Cooper was birdwatching in Central Park. “I’m going to tell them there’s an African American man threatening my life,” Amy Cooper is heard saying on the video.

The video, posted to Twitter, went viral and ignited a furor as social media users called out Amy Cooper’s racist act. There were also real life consequences over the incident, including the Manhattan district attorney’s office charging Amy Cooper with filing a false police report and losing her job with the investment firm Franklin Templeton.
