Hello, I recently joined the group, and wanted to introduce myself to everyone. I grew up on a family farm in upstate New York. In 1997 I earned a B.S. in wildlife biology from the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry in Syracuse, NY, and from there I went on to work in the bird department of the San Antonio Zoo, a position I held for nearly two years. After that, I worked for 3 1/2 years on the Aviary Team at Disney's Animal Kingdom, and then moved to South Florida to work as a state wildlife biologist in the Everglades. A little over 3 years ago I moved back to upstate New York, and took a position as an ecologist and environmental educator for Audubon International, which is an environmental organization based in Selkirk, NY. For the last year I have been working in the retail field, but I am hoping to return to the environmental field very soon.
For the last year and a half or so, I have been conducting a short questionnaire about nature and the environment. I have been sending it via postal mail and email to world leaders, corporate CEOs, wildlife experts, religious leaders, and others, and as I get the results back, I am posting them at a blog I created for the project, http://earthsurvey.blogspot.com To date, I have gotten back approx. 325 responses, from all over the world. I am particularly interested in the intersections between religion, culture, society, and the environment. In the future, I hope to publish something additional with the results, although at this point I am not sure what format or when exactly this will take place. If anyone would like to participate, please let me know, and I would be glad to send you a copy! There is a disclaimer on the site that the views expressed are those of the individuals, and not to be taken as official statements or policies, and if you prefer to remain anonymous, I can do that too! The more the merrier, so please feel free to ask for a copy of the questions! Looking forward to being a part of the group!
