What Are You Doing to Preserve Our Natural Environment... ?

My ecological and natural history interests cover the gamut from animals (especially bats, birds, insects, lizards and snakes), to archeology; cultural and natural history; geology (especially earthquakes); plants; to rocks and minerals.

As for a personal philosophy, I believe that our responsibility is to enjoy the outdoors, appreciate it, learn about it, and share it with others. My favorite quote comes from Lake Manyara National Park in Tanzania: "Remove nothing from the park except nourishment for the soul, consolation for the heart, and inspiration for the mind." In short, travel with minimal impact --you know, "tiptoe through the crypto"...
