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?

This is a tough question, but it may go way back to when I was a kid and had a pet cat that slept on my chest each night. Interestingly now I do not own a cat and despise those that stalk my birdfeeder. Or it could be the fact that my parents used to take us camping.

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

The woods behind my house in Massachusetts.

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

Used to be a zebra (don't know why). Now, probably a snowy owl because they are so cool.

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?

The use of fossil fuels. Human population.

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

Treat it like it is your own, because it is.
