WhAT I DO
I’m Andrew, ecologist by day and sometimes by night. I’m of the opinion that if people don’t know about things they can’t care about them, which is why I share stories and photos of interesting wildlife and habitats on this site.
I believe in research-led conservation efforts and letting science lead the discuss. Interested in how technology can help solve the world’s environmental problems rather than adding to them.
