Creating Magic
I wanted to take a few minutes to tell you about an upcoming book you might be interested in, "Creating Magic - 10 Common Sense Leadership Strategies From A Life At Disney" by Lee Cockerell. I know that for the most part this blog has been used to post the results of my Earth Survey Project, but Lee was kind enough to take part in my project (http://earthsurvey.blogspot.com/2007/12/lee-cockerell.html ), so I wanted to return the favor and give some mention to his upcoming book. Lee spent many years working in the hospitality industry, and held a variety of executive positions with Hilton Hotels (8 years), Marriott Corporation (17 years) and with The Walt Disney Company, which he joined in 1990. Lee was an integral part of the team that opened the Disneyland Paris Resort, and he later went on to become the Executive Vice President of Operations for Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, the position he held while I was working as an animal keeper at Disney's Animal Kingdom. I was fortunate enough to meet Lee early in my Disney career, during an orientation session for newly-hired salaried employees (which all of the animal keepers were at that time), and Lee and I have shared some correspondence over the years, although he has since retired from Disney and I am no longer working there... During his time at Disney, Lee developed the Disney Great Leader Strategies, which have been taught to countless Disney Cast Members, as well as corporate executives and many others over the years at the Disney Institute, where he is a featured speaker. Lee also wrote the popular "Main Street Diary" newsletter, which was distributed weekly to WDW Cast Members.

1. What interaction with an animal and/or nature in your life has had the biggest impact on you?
The very first time I encounter a hawksbill turtle nesting during my internship with WWF-Malaysia in April 2007.
2. Did you have a favorite place in the great outdoors during your childhood?
Malaysia's National Zoo
Now? Any beach
3. As a former zookeeper, I would love to know what your favorite animal is and why?
The owl in general because the animal is a symbol of wisdom to many and an excellent predator.
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?
Currently would be global warming, and I predict that the greatest challenge in the future would be having to find ways to control the world's population.
5. If you could give one piece of advice regarding the environment and our natural resources, what would it be?
Be more proactive to save environment by taking whatever steps necessary to save our home for the future.

1. What interaction with an animal and/or nature in your life has had the biggest impact on you?
Decline in population of very common species -House Crows (Corvus splendens) in my residence area (Ganeshnagar, Udaipur, rajasthan, India). (There is rituals among Indians when they call crows to eat food as we feel that our ancestors come in this form and give blessings of well being.) But in 1980s when we use to call them I could not found them in nearby localities. This caused my concern towards adopting career in the field of wildlife when I will enter my graduation.
2. Did you have a favorite place in the great outdoors during your childhood?
Natural places (especially which is not commonly visited) in the world's oldest hill ranges – Aravallis - which surround my childhood place Udaipur.
Now? Again the deep forest patches of aravallis especially Mt Abu (Sirohi, Rajasthan, India) and Sitamata Forests (southern parts of Rajasthan distributed in Udaipur, Chittorgarh & Pratapgarh districts)
3. As a former zookeeper, I would love to know what your favorite animal is and why?
Very hard to say, but still I will love to state the name of our endemic bird species Green Munia or Green Avadavat (Amandava formosa).
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?
In my views, it is loss of forests (habitat of wild animals) all over the world is the greatest challenge which we are facing now. Increase in Carbon dioxide level and resulting
Climatic change is the greatest challenge of future.
5. If you could give one piece of advice regarding the environment and our natural resources, what would it be?
Individual effort could contribute lot to check the further environment deterioration at every step of our normal schedule works.

1. What interaction with an animal and/or nature in your life has had the biggest impact on you?
I grew up spending most of my free time in nature. My grandfather on my father's side owned a small family farm. Both he and my other grandfather would take me hunting and fishing often. I was in the Boy Scouts during my teen years and loved the hiking and camping. As an adult, my career has been in natural history museums. I've had the opportunity to participate in a number of biodiversity studies and wildlife conservation programs. I've always felt a great connection with nature and have always felt most comfortable - most at home - outdoors, surrounded by all of Creation.
2. Did you have a favorite place in the great outdoors during your childhood?
I was happy wherever I was, as long as it was outdoors. But if I had to name a favorite place it would probably be my grandfather's farm. It was a real old-fashioned family farm, not a modern factory farm. There was lots of open space, meadows I could play in, as well as wooded areas. I remember my grandfather teaching me the names of the trees, birds, snakes and the other living things that abounded on his land. I also worked on many of my Scouting merit badges on his farm. I earned most of the nature oriented badges - forestry, nature, bird study, animal science, botany, environmental science, insect life...
Now? I am still happiest when I am outdoors, no matter where I happen to be. I most love the Southern Appalachian Mountains.
3. As a former zookeeper, I would love to know what your favorite animal is and why?
Wow, that is a tough question. So many come to mind. Oddly enough, I've never been much of a pet person, though I have had a few over the years. Mostly, I prefer the wild animals. I guess I envy their freedom. If I had to pick a favorite, I think I would choose the birds of prey, especially the hawks. There is something about their power, majesty and freedom that draws me to them.
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?
Deforestation. Trees are an incredibly valuable resource. In fact, trees are at least part of the answer to virtually every environmental and economic problem the world faces. If we are to solve our planet's ills, reforestation efforts are vital.
5. If you could give one piece of advice regarding the environment and our natural resources, what would it be?
Plant trees. Lots and lots of trees. Trees to fight climate change. Trees to improve air quality. Trees to control flooding. Trees to stop soil erosion. Trees to maintain freshwater supplies. Trees to restore ecosystems and to increase biodiversity. Trees to feed the world (trees are much more productive per acre than livestock or grain crops).

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.

Today’s Date: 7 April 2008
1. What interaction with an animal and/or nature in your life has had the biggest impact on you?
First, growing up in a small town and playing outdoors every day. As an adult, spending 3 days in Ely, Minnesota for a black bear field study, where we observed, followed and to some extent interacted with black bears in the wild. The organization is Wildlife Research Institute. Although I am a big nature fan anyway, this was a huge life changing experience.
2. Did you have a favorite place in the great outdoors during your childhood?
Yes, the woods near my home.
Now? Wooded areas with few signs of humans (wetlands, uplands, hills, mountains are all special to me)
3. As a former zookeeper, I would love to know what your favorite animal is and why?
Bears in general, and black bears in particular. They are solitary in nature, extremely intelligent, generally good natured, have a highly developed sense of play, are loving and extremely caring mothers, and have amazing communication skills (and yes, I realize that humans do not typically agree that "loving" can be attributed to animals - obviously I disagree).
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?
Overpopulation combined with overconsumption. Future - Same, resulting in continued deterioration of water and air and loss of biodiversity.
5. If you could give one piece of advice regarding the environment and our natural resources, what would it be?
Continue to maintain and protect sufficient habitat for other forms of life, including the food, water and shelter that these life forms need. If we can do this, we will also be focused on preserving natural resources for humans.

1. What interaction with an animal and/or nature in your life has had the biggest impact on you?
I have involved a decade period in participatory biodiversity conservation program. People are suffering from the different predator species. When people ask, how to conserve their lives? How to conserve their livestock? I never can answer in well manner. I am always thinking, how to resolve it.
2. Did you have a favorite place in the great outdoors during your childhood?
Lake near my home, Pokhara, Kaski , Nepal
3. As a former zookeeper, I would love to know what your favorite animal is and why?
Cheer Pheasant, very difficult to locate them in natural condition.
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?
Conservationists are really not working by heart and political parties not supporting the nature related works
5. If you could give one piece of advice regarding the environment and our natural resources, what would it be?
Do not expect any results; just do conservation work for your own existence in the earth.

Senior Wildlife Ecologist (self-employed/semi-retired)
Today’s Date: 7 April 2008
1. What interaction with an animal and/or nature in your life has had the biggest impact on you?
Impact? Wild animals generally have tried to avoid me so we have never had an impact event. And I tried to avoid falling off cliffs or running into trees, so never had this kind of impact event with nature. That is, unless you count the time I tried to avoid impacting a rabbit with my pickup and my wife slid off the slick seat and impacted the dashboard (no seat belt). Seriously, I have had many events with animals and nature that had an effect on me and it would be difficult to pick out one as the "biggest" -- there's the effect of the first deer I killed, seeing a cougar skirt through the trees while on a wilderness horseback trip, watching otters play on a beach in Alaska, or just taking a group of city kids on an exploratory walk through a bit of wildland forest.
2. Did you have a favorite place in the great outdoors during your childhood?
The riverbed, islands and cliffbanks of the bedrock channel of the Umatilla River right off our backyard.
Now? Steens Mountain in Oregon's portion of the northern Great Basin
3. As a former zookeeper, I would love to know what your favorite animal is and why?
The river otter -- because it knows how to play and avoid taking everything too seriously
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?
Economic growth and human overconsumption, both now and in the future.
5. If you could give one piece of advice regarding the environment and our natural resources, what would it be?
My advice would be to avoid saying "impact" when you mean "effect" -- or maybe my better advice would be to effectively invest yourself and your time in the natural world; be a firsthand participant in nature by observing, interacting, exploring, examining, sketching, recording, camping, hiking, hunting, fishing, watching, calling, climbing, listening, smelling, eating and otherwise being a part of this wonder-filled realm. And make sure your our children have the same experiences.
