1. What interaction with an animal and/or nature in your life has had the biggest impact on you?
I used to have a dog as a boy and when I became a father got our children a dog named Princess. One day we found her under our bed dying. She had been attacked by other dogs and they had nearly ripped off her skin from head to tail. We were hugely traumatized.
2. Did you have a favorite place in the great outdoors during your childhood?
I loved going to a stream with my friends for a swim. It was just below our township.
Now? Standing on the seashore gazing across the Atlantic at Robben Island
3. As a former zookeeper, I would love to know what your favorite animal is, and why?
Dogs, because they are so faithful
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?
There is no doubt it is global warming and how we cope with that.
5. If you could give everyone one piece of advice regarding the environment and our natural resources, what would it be?
Remember we are God's representatives and so we should act responsibly as God's stewards. That would determine what we have to do and how we do it.
