Thanks to my sister Michelle McIlroy for designing the logo!

Welcome!

Ever since I was a child, I have been very interested in nature and the environment. I have a B.S. degree in wildlife biology, and have worked as a zookeeper, wildlife biologist, and ecologist. I am conducting a brief survey of world leaders, government officials, religious leaders, corporate CEOs, environmental groups, wildlife experts, and others regarding nature and the environment. I am also very interested in religious views, customs, and beliefs from around the world, and the interactions between religion, culture, society, and the environment. This is something I am doing out of personal interest, and is not connected to any group or organization. I have been working on this project since the summer of 2006, and hope to eventually turn it into a book and/or documentary. I am hoping to make this into a global project, with responses from all segments of society. Feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions or comments. If you have not already done so, I hope that you will consider taking part in my project, and please spread the word to anyone you think might be interested! Thanks for stopping by!

1. What interaction with an animal and/or nature in your life has had the biggest impact on you?

Perhaps to many to mention.................Turkeys, owls, dogs, cats, eagle, chicken, horses, ants, butterflies, dragonflies, birds.

2. Did you have a favorite place in the great outdoors during your childhood?

Grew up in the country in Southern Maryland on a farm.

Now? Still live in Southern Maryland, but the country is leaving fast........many farms are gone. Been blessed to live near my great great grandparents home with over 60 acres and we can go there to retreat from the cares of the world.

3. As a former zookeeper, I would love to know what your favorite animal is, and why?

Elephants...........I can't say I know why maybe their size.

4. What do you think is the greatest environmental challenge facing us now, and what do you think will be the greatest challenge in the future?

1. The inability to listen
2. To break free from the system

5. If you could give everyone one piece of advice regarding the environment and our natural resources, what would it be?

All things created are apart of the circle of life; there is nothing Created that is separate from the other, but all things were Created to work together.....Destruction of one......... is the destruction of all. The earth and all non-human life cries out with a loud voice to the Creator to put an end to mans deadly grip, and so man must wake up from his slumber and cry out too!........for all things that were created to work together............will die together.
