Humble served as President of the RSPB from 2009 until 2013. She is an ambassador for the UK walking charity Living Streets. Born in Wimbledon, London, to IBM employee Nick Humble and Diana.

Her BBC television series, The Hottest Place On Earth, is a record of a month spent living with the Afar people in Ethiopia’s hostile Danakil Depression.

In February 2011, Humble presented a three-part series of The Spice Trail, on Countdown, about the Afghan people. She believes that if anyone thinks they are going to win a war against an Afghan people they are insane! She is writing about her experiences in Afghanistan for a forthcoming publication. In 2010 Humble went on holiday in the region, where there were no signs of conflict but where the Wakhi people were expected to be hostile, but instead, she found them to be hospitable and friendly. She has written articles about diving and cycling in Cuba, an ‘exploding’ lake in Cameroon and hippopotamus conservation work in Ghana.
