Conservation And Environmental Articles

"Green Up On The Issues"

Keeping up with all the environmental news is tough.

These environmental articles aim to highlight some of the conservation and biodiversity issues that are at the heart of rainforest protection.

Other articles focus on interesting wildlife, the role of responsible tourism, profiles on science professionals, and travel experiences.

Most of these jungle essays accumulated over years of working with conservation organizations, visiting nature destinations and going in the jungle with wildlife researchers. I've been fortunate to see the jungle up-close and understand it through the eyes of passionate observers.

I've asked researchers and others to contribute also, to add some additional perspectives.

I trust you'll find some interesting insights, a little bit of humor, a concern for conservation issues and a fascination with what the rainforest beholds for everyone.
