Gisele Bundchen: From supermodel to TV presenter

Los Angeles - Gisele Bundchen is set to become a TV presenter.

The 35-year-old model has joined season two of the National Geographic channel's docuseries Years of Living Dangerously as a correspondent and will report on climate change in her native Brazil.

She wrote on Instagram: "I'm excited to be joining season two of @YearsofLiving Dangerously as a correspondent, exploring deforestation and climate change in my beautiful home country of Brazil. The new season will air globally later this year on @NatGeoChannel #Yearsproject #Amazonforest (sic)."

Previous celebrity reporters for Years of Living Dangerously include Jessica Alba and Olivia Munn.

Gisele, who was appointed as a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) in 2009, is a keen environmentalist and has been the face of a number of UN campaigns, and undertaken field missions in Brazil and Kenya.

She previously said: "The environment has always been my passion. Mother Earth is our fundamental life-support system, and by becoming aware and responsible now, we can assist in preserving the planet."
