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!

no favorite one but I work to protect beneficial bats, because they same functions in nature as bees and more, particularly in agric. production.

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?

Powerful nations irrespect for humanity and environment, generates more pollution, poverty and overpopulation in tropical world; all of course due to lack of environmental awareness because of lack of env. education at all levels.

In general, work with nature/environment/plants/animals not against them because you are part of them and whatever you do to them you do it to yourself, bad or good. Specifically, powerful countries, respect Kyoto Protocol and other world agreements that protect the environment.
