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

Dogs probably. Farmer's boy so we had cattle, sheep, chickens, pigs etc.
But the dogs get your trust and yours theirs.
Send a brace over a hill out of sight and they come back with the flock. Time after time.

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

Mile Hill.

Now? The Sahara. Remote and desolate, but indescribible as an experience. The Great Karoo gets runner up for me.

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

Dogs for the reasons in point 1.

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?

Warming.

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

Go nuclear.
