A guide to exploring nature & wildlife...

Welcome!

The general purpose of Ecosystem Guides is to interpret and celebrate nature and wildlife through guiding, lectures, books, DVDs and a website.

The specific aim of this website is to help people explore the world's ecosystems, experience nature and find wildlife.

I do this by describing places to go, what to look for, where to stay, who to go with, and what books and other references can help you. The site also has some of the more common questions I have been asked over the years.

By providing this service I hope to encourage wildlife and ecotourism, and thus continue to give nature a value, so humans will want to protect it. I believe this is the most realistic way to conserve what is remaining.
