I co-founded SaveNature.Org (The Center for Ecosystem Survival) with Norm Gershenz in 1988 to raise awareness of, funds for, and participation in wildlife and ecosystem conservation around the world. We have funded jaguar, giant river otter, pink and gray dolphin, spectacled bear, hyacinth and scarlet macaw and of course insect habitat acquisition and protection in Central and South America; mammal field guides for Latin America; coral reef, sea turtle, and dophin protection in the Caribbean, Palau and Komodo Island to name just a few. We work with schools, children, museums, aquariums, zoos, botanical gardens, universities and the public in the US and abroad to create the most effective and collaborative consortium partnerships for saving biodiversity and whole ecosystems and have raised and donated $3.5 million for habitat purchase and protection in 11 countries such as the Pantanal in Brazil, Guanacaste National Park and Corcovado National Park in Costa Rica, the Chagres watershed in Panama, the Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve in Peru, the Maya Biosphere in Guatemala, coral reefs in Palau and the Bahamas, Komodo Island National Marine Reserve, and black rhinos, cheetah and desert ecosystem in the Kunene region of Namibia.

No species is an island, we are all connected.
