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?

Standing in the Chesapeake Bay, up to my knees in water, with the Moon setting to my right, and the Sun rising on my left......it was magic.

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

Anywhere I could find a tree to climb. Now.....under the young oak tree beside my front deck.

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

Of the animals who are still able to roam the wilds, I think my favorite is the bear. The she-bear. Very protective of her cubs, very nurturing.

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?

Trying to clean up the mess we've made, and for the future, trying to see that we don't make any more such messes.

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

We have only the one Earth, and it is up to us to choose how we live upon Her. We are the only animals that can make such conscious choices.
