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?

Fetching water with donkey. It has provided water for me, but it is also very troublesome.

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

No answer given

Now? Yes, on the mountains where there are snakes and big lizards

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

Hare, because it is very clever and also very sweet

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?

Now we have many people congested in small areas while animals have got tracks of land which are not utilized in the near future we might have the people population explode.

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

Let’s divide what we have equally otherwise tomorrow people might destroy forest.
